That is significantly harder than "contains identifiers" and I don't see any advantages.
Some problems:
- It ties the formatter into the book details ecosystem, making maintenance more difficult.
- Tool tips wouldn't work.
- Dealing with multiple identifiers would be tricky.
- URLs generated by plugins and "rules" would be tricky.
At this point I am putting the idea on hold. You have something that works, so my idea seems to be a solution in search of a problem. We can revisit it if needed.
