I would like to imagine a feature for Koha's OPAC, where the customer
can click on a 'Where is it?" button for any title that is available on
shelf, and be presented with a library plan showing the section where
the item should be.
Something that would translate existing library location data (call number,
item category, location and branch) from the item, rather than adding extra
data as described ("create a new authorized type “maplinks” then allow Koha
administrators to put in any content they want"). That way it should work for
all existing materials, not requiring new authorized values to be added and
applied.

For instance, if the person looked up Pride & Prejudice, and the library
has a copy in their Classics section, on the lower floor at the end of
the Fiction shelving, the plan would show the shelving layout with the
appropriate shelf area highlighted. This would of course require some work from
each library to create the shelf plan, and then link it to categories and/or
call number ranges in Koha. Not sure whether the graphical plan would be
created in a new set of Preferences or maybe a plugin? 

Call number may be more precise than needed, but I think call number ranges
should work, such as Junior Fiction A-J.
