Can Overdrive Link discriminate between regular free ebooks and those ONLY for Daisy???
An example of Daisy only is:
Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny

Thanks

That is strange. It should only find borrowable books. I just did an inlibrary search for that book and the plugin created a link to this page, which for me lists 10 editions of the book, the first two of which can be borrowed.

If that is not happening for you the perhaps you could post a log of the search and/or show the contents of the web page at Open Library that is linked for that book.

ETA: A fraction of the books at Open Library that can be borrowed show only a choice to read in your browser instead of downloading a PDF or EPUB. If that is what you are referring to then I can answer that I haven't found a reasonable way for the plugin to detect those books during search.
