Allow Author Name dropdown display details that aren't front-facing

As a multibrand and bilingual publisher, we require author bios in both French and English. However, when selecting the author name in composer the same author name appears twice (one linking to a FR bio, another an ENG bio) but it is impossible for the editor to distinguish between the two bios.
A helpful solution would be an internal 'Notes' field that displays inside the CMS, but not to the public - ex. Jane Smith (ENGLISH), Jane Smith (FRENCH).
Or for publishers that only have one language but want to have brand-specific bios, they could use the internal notes field to say - Jane Smith (DEALS.COM BIO) and Jane Smith (SERIOUSNEWS.COM BIO)
This would also solve for if an organization has two authors with the same name.
