If I wrote a book in dedication to koha and made that explicit on a
page, a link would have been created between the book and koha.
Suppose koha is a high-profile celebrity and my book happens to be
monumentally controversial for its own content; koha's manager doesn't
appreciate the publicized unduly link and calls me demanding that {lo
cukta co'u srana ko'a tai zo'e}, where {zo'e} refers to the fact that
koha's name is on the book's particular page unrelated to the book's
topic itself.

Not only is that example extremely contrived, it is also not an example of srana being "dedicated to", and I highly doubt any manager would say "A book is completed pertinent to ko'a in the obvious form" to yell at someone for putting a name in a book. More likely they'd just say "Why is {name}'s name in you book? I want it out, NOW!"
