I am changing the bug title a little bit as what we discussed here does not
only apply to 776, but to the general linking mechanism Koha supports for 7xx
fields right now.

To summarize a little:

IS:
Koha currently supports linking by ID between a singular $w subfield and 001 of
another record. 003 and 035 are not taken into account.

TO BE DISCUSSED:
- Allow linking of $w and 035 of another record using the prefix
- Make the linking more specific by using the prefix and 001+003
- Take care of repeating $w (which $w should be used for searching the right
link?)

I think here (Germany) the expectation would not be to link to another source,
but the $w are used to built hierarchies between the records within the
catalog. Cataloging in hierarchies (set records and volumes for examples) is
the norm here, so the initial goal was to make these hierarchies visible and
allow navigating them.

@Heather Could you give some examples from your catalog?
