Fair 'nuff… I'd probably be the only person to make use of it anyway

But that will only show the items for one category, e.g. tags, or publisher, or #admin_tags, or….

That would be useful: all I am after is something that indicates the presence of a category item Note and/or Link.
However, it would require a template that interrogates the notes database for every category item assigned to a book, and something similar if I wanted to show a Links icon. I'm not prepared to invest the effort into developing and maintaining such templates.
I can get close enough to what I want via the "Show [current] Book details in a separate window" feature. I have enough screen real estate to park it alongside the main window and I can limit its configuration to only show category columns (i.e no cover, long-text, dates, word counts etc). I might even remove some of category columns from the embedded Book details panel, which is under book list.
Buttons to Save and Load different configurations on the detached book detail panels would be handy.

Correct.
And if you do add the icons, I doubt I would show them when I do use the Tag browser.
