The item editor can't. Bottom line: this isn't a can of worms I want to open.
I invoke the Item editor from the book list via Shift+F2 in a cell.

What I had in mind was this: the Category editor button would be a Go To, i.e. pressing it would do whatever pressing the Item editor OK does; and then, rather than returning control to the book list, it would take a detour via the corresponding Category editor.

But I can see how that might go against the grain of MDE.

Added: I can add individual Manage Categories→Custom columns→«whatever» to Favourites… that'll do me.

Might make another clone of Favourites for the Manage Category columns for which I want to have something in Links.
