Have a look into `org-capture' code. It calls `org-store-link'.

See specific store link functions, e.g. `org-gnus-store-link'.

With "capture" subprotocol it does not mapped to keywords.

Not all books have authors in metadata. Some have editors since every
chapter has its own author. To avoid handling such logic in capture
templates I decided to resort to formatting inside an extension (or
formatting performed by a dedicated tool if site has API, e.g. GitHub).

If you are using Emacs-30 I would suggest to keep away from org-protocol
hacks and to rely on `server-eval-args-left' handled by a dedicated function
emacsclient --eval '(my-capture)' 'my-proto://something?param=value'
For older versions you may either use backslash hell like in
emacsclient-mail.desktop or to define custom subprotocol for org-protocol.
