A limitation in the quote linker

It's actually because he's not the primary author of that work, not because of the number of his works. I am not aware of any way to link a work to a quote for a non-primary author.
I add quote links for non-primary authors all the time. that is, in fact, a large part of the reason why I bother adding the other authors on all my books. This is the first such failure I've encountered.
If you look at http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/... you'll see that most of the quotes ate linked to non-primary authors.



Unfortunately, Crowley was a prolific author, and has more works than can appear in the drop-down list of books on the Add a Quote page (223 against a limit of 200, even after my best attempts to combine editions), so I was unable to attach this quote to its proper source.
Is there some back-end work-around for this, accessible only to those with better access privileges than super-librarians? If so, could someone do that? It seems generally bad not to cite one's sources, and in fact that one of the things I tend to focus on fixing when I have time.
Please and thank you.
