[BetterRed]

I have a calibre library for Creators, which contains custom columns pertinent to Authors, Translators, Illustrators etc, e.g. date and place of birth and death, publishers, links to other Creators, etc. My Books library has the relevant "calibre://book-details/Creators/nnn" URL in the Author/Translator/... links field.

'Clicking' on an Link icon in a book's Detail panel will pop a separate Detail panel for that Author/Translator/....

I started doing this the day calibre://URLs were introduced in calibre version 5.?, prior to that I used Evernote to do something similar but that was nowhere near as effective as having a separate calibre library.

I do not have items in the Creators library for every author, only those who I regard as significant. It's also how I handle pseudonyms, e.g. Authors 'J.K. Rowling' and 'Robert Galbraith' in the Books library link to 'Joanne Rowling' in the Creators library.
