If you are writing the documents on the same platform on which your calibre library resides, you could keep the writing tool files (e.g a .TYP file) in the library alongside the output file the writing tool creates (e.g a .PDF file).

Calibre will store non-ebook formats files in its book folders, like ebook formats, only one instance of each file type for a 'book'.

Providing the OS has .TYP files associated with Typst, calibre will invoke Typst when you View a .TYP file. You can then do the edits in Typst and save the .TYP and .PDF files from Typst to overwrite the existing files in the calibre library book folder.

I would create a new 'book' by creating a Empty book and then add a 'blank' .TYP and a 'blank" .PDF to that book.

I use MS OneNote .ONE files to keep checklists, reminders, notes etc for 'books'.

Probably not suitable if there are multiple people doing the editing.
