As the others have said, the performance of adding a column with the URL in it is probably not going to be noticeable. Adding a new id to every book might have as much affect when scrolling through a large library.

In any case, attached is a metadata source plugin for the Worlds Without Ends site. It supports searching the site and downloading the standard metadata and covers. The identifier it uses is "wwend" with the number from the URL. It will display as "WorldsWithoutEnds" in the details pane.

I have done some testing, but it needs more testing before release. There is a good chance that I have missed something. If there is a problem, press the "View log" button and then "Copy to clipboard" on the next dialog. Post the contents so I can see what went wrong.

And of course, tell me if it all works fine.
