Thanks James.

To clarify, the idea is to have :
- an authority record with a 100 field that has the author's name in $a 
and the title in $t
- a bibliographic record where the 100$a is filled with the 100$a from 
the autority record, and the 240$a from the 100$t of the authority 
record, which Koha cannot do.

So we would have this in the bibliographic record :
100 0\  $9authid $aHomer.
240 10 $9authid $aIliad

And this in the authority record :
001  authid
100  $aHomer $tIliad

I would have thought that the 240 should be linked to an uniform title 
record (with the header in 130), but this kind of authority cannot have 
an author name. http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd130.html

 From what i understand, we should be filling both 100 and 240 in the 
biblio from the 100 in the authority in this situation, with subfields 
from the authority going in different subfields in the bibliographic 
record (namely the $t will end up in a $a). As far as i know, Koha 
really doesn't do that.
