With the changes made a few releases ago Calibre already has the ability to store multiple "identifiers" for a book, ISBN being the obvious one, and goodreads id from this plugin being another. Now in theory there will be nothing stopping us in a metadata download plugin from grabbing other identifiers as well and storing these. This could be pretty useful to grab website specific internal ids for a book to enable very close integration in plugins.
So for instance I will be changing my Goodreads metadata download plugin to make sure that it grabs the goodreads id and sets that (will save the need for users to manually link books). I will also be attempting to grab the ASIN and set an identifier for that too. I can't do it today because I have no way of passing that identifier back to be stored, however in the new metadata download API that is no longer the case.
