How to link author URLs in a bookdown project?

If I have a {pkgdown} website for an R package, I can include the author URLs in _pkgdown.yml:

authors:
  Indrajeet Patil:
    href: https://sites.google.com/site/indrajeetspatilmorality/

And the URL will be present in the website footer:

How can I do the same for a {bookdown} website?

You should be able to use Markdown syntax to achieve that

author: '[Indrajeet Patil](https://sites.google.com/site/indrajeetspatilmorality/)'

this will make the author Pandoc variable be a link in the HTML template.

Depending on the theme you are using, you may need to tweak the CSS so the the link can correctly be readable on the footer background
