Multiple files under the same book

I'm building a calibre library for all my RPG rulebooks. Well, some of the rulebooks are boxed sets that have multiple PDFs, since the box contains multiple books.

Is there a way to group multiple PDFs under the same entry in Calibre?

Assign each to a 'series' (the number can be the order or 0, but must always be there).
You can only have 1 of any format type of a document in the same book , which is why what you asked for won't work.
If the the RPG already has a series, consider making a hierarchical {series.docs} level for the docs

If you want to keep them together, put the PDFs in the book's data folder, and set a shortcut to open the data folder (I use Alt+O)

If you put links to the files in a long text custom column you can click on them in the Book details panel.

If you've set the same series to these books, you can create a virtual library based on the series. Click on Virtual library under the toolbar and then select Create Virtual library. Give it a name and put in the code to search by series.

Code:
series:="series name"
