styling individual parts of ToC entry

Now that with Hraban's invaluable assistance I am able to include title, 
subtitle, author as and when necessary in the ToC and put them on the 
same line if I need to, I have two questions that I have not found a 
satisfactory solution to after playing around with various possibilities.

I need:

(1) the author's names lined up vertically throughout the ToC, and

(2) the first part of the entry (e.g. Foreword) to be bold, but the 
author name to be regular text.

An adjusted version of Hraban's setup can show what I have tried by way 
of example:

%----------------

\define[1]\TitleTocEntry{%
   #1\hskip 1cm% title
    \structurelistuservariable{author}%
   }

\setuplist[title][textstyle=bold,
   textcommand=\TitleTocEntry,
]

%---------------

/Question 1:/ /How to get the two author names to line up vertically./ 
Given that I have both a Foreword and a Preface, I am using \title for 
these. And both have separate authors. The titles will be simply 
'Foreword' and 'Preface', obviously.

*Foreword     Author name*

*Preface    Author name*

I am using \hskip 1cm to separate the authors' names from either of 
those two words. But this does not give me the kind of exact positioning 
I need to get the two author names directly underneath each other in the 
list. I have tried various alternatives to \hskip, but none of them can 
give me the correct proportional distance. The distance is obviously 
being controlled by the fact that 'Foreword' is 8 characters and 
'Preface' is 7. Is what I want only obtainable with a table setup?

The issue might or might not be more complicated when I get to main 
chapters, where the author names need to line up with the Foreword and 
Preface author names as well. There will be, e.g.

Chapter One  Title

                        Author name
//

/Question 2:/ /How to independently get Foreword and Preface to be bold, 
but the authors' names to be regular./ \setuplist offers me options like 
textstyle, pagestyle, numberstyle, but they apply to everything (both 
Foreword/Preface and Authors' name are bold). I thought perhaps I could 
control it from within the document, e.g.

\starttitle[title={\ss\bf Foreword}][author={A. Uthor}]

But that does the same - both Foreword and A. Uthor end up bold. And 
besides, I also want to style the ToC independently of the heads if I can.

The wiki and various manuals do offer various tips on modifying the ToC, 
but I cannot find anything regarding the two questions above - not yet, 
anyway. If someone knows where, please point me to it.
