What feature would you like to request?

from scholarly import scholarly
search_query = scholarly.search_author('...')
first_author_result = next(search_query)
author = scholarly.fill(item)
first_publication = author['publications'][0]
first_publication_filled = scholarly.fill(first_publication)

Now given a publication object, we can fetch the author list from first_publication_filled[bib].
Nevertheless, GoogleScholar often links the author pages with the publications. It is essential to fetch the corresponding author page, or construct an author object for each of them, such that we can understand more specifically who own this paper.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I do not find related problems in the raised issues.

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe there could be an additional key in first_publication_filled that contains a list of author objects (likewise the first_author_result in the code).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe there could be an additional key in first_publication_filled that contains a list of links to author pages.

Do you plan on contributing?
No, regrettably I do not have the capacity....
