So I edit in my main library. I use the calibre editor, so nothing is done outside the library.

But I'd like to use multiple calibre instances too sometimes, on different libraries. Yes, it can be done via a second Windows user account, but that's a pain (you must give the second account permissions to access your main account).

Yes, I know it could be dangerous.
If you're editing an epub from Library A there's nothing to prevent you switching to Library B and doing whatever… I do it quite often

Example: I'm editing a transcript of a podcast (in my Media library), and reference is made to Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order, which I know I have in my Books library. So, I switch to my Creators library, find Fukuyama where I know there'll be a calibre://search link to Fukuyama in my Books library.
