The only option is adding a template like the following:

def by($authored_thing, $author, $reifier)
   author-of(authored_thing: $authored_thing, author: $author) ~ $reifier
end

d by(me, [note: "bla blub"])

Note, that you can define both templates: The binary by and the
ternary by in one CTM instance.
CTM chooses the right template automatically.

Best regards,
Lars
