I know exactly what you mean, I did too. But eventually the challenge of maintaining consistent descriptors became too burdensome.

Since I abandoned my scheme a new feature has been added to calibre: Category Notes… the genesis of version 7.

I'm wondering if one could make use of them to do what we want? Thus far I've only used them superficially. I'll look into them a bit deeper to see what I can come up with. They are searchable, via the Browse notes tool; I'm thinking that maybe they'd also need to be linkable via a calibre:// URL verb e.g. note_show.
