I've had a look at this again, but I didn't have any good ideas to solve this properly. Just a few notes on the general problem and what I tried...

The German in your example document is no problem. Don't worry about translating it. The example I posted was German because I copied it from the linked mrunix post you...

Thanks for the extensive reply. I can't promise I'll be able to go through it before the weekend (and maybe not even then: it's [TUG 2020](https://www.tug.org/tug2020/)), so the low-hanging fruit...

Ah, sorry about the confusion with 'primary name'. That's the phrase the manual sometimes uses to describe `labelname` or just the name list that comes first in the bibliography entry...

Thank you for this interesting feature suggestion. I think the general infrastructure to be able to identify works by particular authors would be nice to have for a variety of...
