Title,author, etc data in PB... possible to be filled in from docx source file?

when sharing pb docx file with other logos users (for example in a study group), each person needs to enter by hand the data in the "add new book" form when compiling the pb in their logos software, possibly ending up with different info (typos, incomplete info, etc.) for my book by different users.

Is there a possibility to ensure that this information will be the exact same with each compilation in different people's logos software? 
Perhaps have these data included in a specific marked up section at the beginning of the docx file, so that the compilation script would auto-fill that info in the pb?
Or a possible share of the compiled book similar to how documents, notes, etc can be uploaded for public use?

    The information could be provided when the contribution is submitted to the Files forum or a study Group e.g.  https://community.logos.com/forums/t/201503.aspx  (some may choose to use type:Sermons, though!).

    That would have to be a suggestion  

    Or a possible share of the compiled book

    That won't happen as Faithlife have restricted distribution of uploaded PB's to the originating user to avoid exposure to copyright infringements (and to avoid possible competition with their own (professional) product).
