I would love to help with testing, but alas I'm stuck with Calibre 3.48 - the highest version I can access with my current Mac OS (High Sierra). So no Calibre 5x for me.

What I've been doing to link my LT record to my Calibre record is to insert the LT Book ID in the IDs field in my Calibre record as ltid: and to add the calibre ID into my LT book entry as an 'other call number' as Calibre ##### (using leading zeros). This is done as part of my manual logging process as I acquire new ebooks and load them into Calibre.

It's not perfect, because where I split omnibuses, the IDs get reused, and when I merge short stories, there's multiple IDs. It's also manual, but I can process a record in a couple of minutes, so it's not too onerous. It would be nice to be able to automate the matching and insertion of IDs.
