Feature request: add combined authors name placeholder in the template

[stefanopagliari]

This request was made in the Obsidian Forum

I noticed the file title does a cool thing when using the {{author}} variable, in that it summarizes the author names to “lastname1 and lastname2” for two authors, or to “lastname1 et al.” for more than two.

Is it possible to duplicate this behavior in the note template?

Bump. This would be really cool to have since I use the citekey as file name, and I would love to have {{title}} ({{author}}) as an alias for each note without making the it unreadable when there are multiple authors.
