Other types of Creators to display

I was probably a bit too fast on my previous request to limit the column of the plugin only to Authors.
There are actually some Item Types for which it makes sense to show other types of Creators:

  • Presentation -> Presenter
  • Patent -> Inventor
  • Video Recording -> Director
  • Maybe others?

So it would be nice to either make a hard list of what is considered to be an Author, or make it an option to choose which ones to display.

In my opinion, I would like to focus on authors (which are defined as "author" in zotero item database) as this plugin is about authors instead of all the other creators. But PRs are welcomed for such functions.

For the Item Types I mentionned, they do not have any Author.
The first type of Creator they have, which I have listed, play the same role as an Author.
Otherwise, these Item Types will not have any Author to display.

I cannot spare time to realize this function but if you really need this, PRs are welcome.
