Impact of adding field to authors or series table?

I understand that Calibre has its own access methods on top of the metadata.db sqlite database, and it has this nice concept of custom columns ... but that only seems to apply to books, not authors, series etc.

Links and notes are available by default now, but if we want to keep track of anything else related to these entities, we're kinda stuck.

So my question: if I wanted to add an "image" field to the authors and/or series table (for example) in the database for use by another program, would there be any potential issues with Calibre or some plugins breaking down the road?

Or is there some other recommended way to add a "custom field" to authors, series etc.?

I haven't been able to find any answers to that in any of the FAQs - but maybe I missed something?

Thanks
