Thank you for this tip. I did not know this plugin until now. Now it is installed, adapted and very helpful.

Hello HibDelyatt,

I am french and for my links, I use this :

I created a column of links that appears in the details :

Preferences > Add your own colums > Add custom colums
Quick Create ISBN

Lookup name : links
Column heading : Links
Column heading : Colum built from other colunm
Check 'show as HTML in book details'
Template : For example, if you want links to the author on english and german Wikipedia put in

<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Suche&search=Spécial%3ARec herche&search={author}" >de_Wikipedia</a> &nbsp;
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search={author}" >en_Wikipedia</a>

Then OK and Apply.

Best regards
