Example: I link Shakespeare's The Tempest and Huxley's Brave New World. As well as the calibre://URLs, the Links columns for the two books have Miranda's:

O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.

See The calibre:// URL scheme

If I'm not mistaken, the calibre links depend -- reasonably so -- on their ID. That seems pretty brittle, unless you never move a book from one library to another, and never merge.

I like the idea, and I admit I wasn't aware of that facility, but I don't think it'll work the way I need it to for my use case. I move files between libraries quite a bit... though that might settle down as I get my libraries cleaned up.
