We could have an AV category in Koha, with (at least) the supported values.
Just thinking how end users will use this.

The whole point in my opinion is to eventually have a '...' link opening a
search on the desired identifiers provider (e.g. ORCID) so the link with the ID
is automatically generated. JUST A THOUGHT.

Yeah, my question was more a roadmap one: I've already pushed this, just wanted
to know the next planned steps (IF ANY!)
