filter/smart filter options - instead of just filter by series add the options to filter by chapter/books

[rix8675]

Idea Description

when using filters in kavita it'd be nice to be able to filter tags,characters,writer/author,format and get either the individual entries(potentially even volumes) for the filters instead of just the series.
i can think of several uses for this

1. my brother only likes chapters with certain characters in it in a series, at the moment i have 2 entries for the series i have just added series-character as the series in the comicinfo.xml then went through and found every chapter with character in it. so this would make that vastly easier as i could just create a filter for him.
2. i also have a entry in series that contains nothing but anthologies it'd be nice to be able to just filter tags,writer/authors,characters and just get the comic/books in a filter, as of right now i just put the authors/writer(or any other information) in the filename/comicinfo.xml title tags and it sorts it that way(example:author - title). it's rough though since you have to hover over or go before the chapter/book entry to see the titles though since the added information takes up most of the entry space.
3. would help with newspaper libraries where it's sorted by year(using volumes) with tags and whatnot this would also help with searching those.
4. also a library for guides/school books or any type of learning/guide would benefit from this.

 
this is just a mockup image i thought of using the first things i looked at when making it, most likely the other series most likely do not contain saitama. it is also pretty roughly made it's more for an idea of what i'm thinking as i am not too good at explaining things. also db is collapsed if there is any confusion with that.
