citing introductions, afterwords, forewords, etc.

There is no proper way in Zotero to properly cite an Introduction, Foreword, Afterword, or the like. According to the Chicago Manual of Style, these should be cited like this:

6. Francine Prose, introduction to Word Court: Wherein Verbal Virtue Is Rewarded, Crimes against the Language Are Punished, and Poetic Justice Is Done, by Barbara Wallraff (New York: Harcourt, 2000).
[with name of book in italics, I cannot do this here]

Mansfield, Harvey, and Delba Winthrop. Introduction to Democracy in America, by Alexis de Tocqueville, xvii–lxxxvi. Translated and edited by Harvey Mansfield and Delba Winthrop. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000.
[with name of book in italics]

Zotero only has a "Book Section" category, which does not cite these properly.

Can these be added as categories to Zotero?
