It works out great to have a visual link within my cover grid. I can open up series from a "book", view an author by clicking on their photo, or use it to visually drill through my genres.

This method is just a bit clunky, and wondered if a plugin might streamline this a bit.
I might be confused about what you want to do, but it seems that the links and/or notes features do this.

You create calibre search links and apply them to the author or series or what-have-you in your empty book.

You can create notes for authors, create an "empty" authors notes book, then apply the authors with notes to that book. Same for series. The author name(s) in the book are search links.

Both the links and notes buttons appear in book details and (soon) in the tag browser.
