Hi Laura, if you don't want Koha to use the $w you can set the UseControlNumber
preference accordingly. In our union catalog $w is also used for linking
records, but when the linked record is also in Koha, the link works correctly.
An example would be a 773$w => 001 link for an analytical and a serial record.

At the moment this will only work, if you have 1 $w matching the 001 of another
record. It could be discussed, how to improve this further. When I 'built' it,
it was certainly influenced by the MARC records I knew from our environment and
how I read the standard, but since I have been wondering :)

We could also imagine changing the control-number search to a
other-control-number search - this could be tested easily with jQuery and if it
works better turned into a preference.
