Version 1.0.84- 11 Dec 2020 "Copy Calibre links" item in CalibreSpy's context menu, with "Show Book" and "Search for <author name>" options.
These URL Links are based on
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/url_scheme.html.
Obviously this can be
used only by Calibre 5.7+, although CalibreSpy will still generate them properly even with a minimum version of Calibre 4.6.
To ensure the accuracy of the search results in Windows 10 users, the "author name" query (only) is shown as hexidecimal so that the Windows 10 command line does not corrupt the query when parsing it to pass it to Calibre.
CalibreSpy Example:
Book ID: 15 calibre://search/CalibreLibraryCodes?q="id:15"
Book Author Name: Krasznahorkai, László
Calibre Link's url: calibre://search/CalibreLibraryCodes?eq=617574686f72733a223d4cc3a17 37a6cc3b3204b7261737a6e61686f726b616922
Results in the Calibre GUI SearchBar: authors:"=László Krasznahorkai"
Note: If you were to use the Calibre GUI Book Details "Copy Link" function, it would be in a totally different format that only Calibre itself can create due it its support of the Calibre Server library_id (which CalibreSpy does not use).
