           Summary: Expose {AMAZONASSOCID} for usage in things like "More

The enhanced content configuration provides one to configure an Amazon
Associate Id.  If one would like to add "More Searches" html links where they
usually specify, {TITLE} or {AUTHOR}, it would be good to have {AMAZONASSOCID}
available as well, so any latter id change in the configuration will be
reflected appropriately.  Then one can code their link with
&tag={AMAZONASSOCID}.

------------------------------------------------
Beyond the scope of this bug request:

Note: This sort of thing might be needed for other 3rd party
integrations/mashups.

Note: If upon consideration that it would be useful to expose many other
configuration parameters, one might explore adding an option to the preferences
editor (and tables/columns), to "expose" the value field as some supplied ID
(i.e. {SUPPLIEDID} ). If one think this use case may be common.  I haven't a
good enough understanding of the templating system to warrant this idea. A
discussion in the mailing list would be needed.

Please: Notify the person documenting 3.2 so the appropriate section can be
added.
