I hope I'm clear enough about my case
Do someone has a guess of how to do it ?
The plugin should support the templating language so in theory if you could wrap your head around the syntax for it you could put in some formula instead of the simple {author} tag.

I personally have never attempted to get my head around it's capabilities or syntax but others in the forums would be able to help. Or perhaps chaley will spot this post and respond and say whether it is possible or not and if so then how...
