That would solve the technical problem. But the library will still have to
explain that the user placed a hold on 'the two towers' and get '50 shades of
grey'.
Well, the use case for moving an item is also that you've duplicate biblio
records, so maybe the use case 'I place a hold on the 2 towers and get 50
shades of grey' is rare enough to be managed manually.
do you agree ?
