Is it possible to have a background link job which will auto-link if there is only one result, or do nothing/prompt later if there are more than 1 link?
Anything is possible, but, I can't say I am very interested in doing that. I don't trust the matches enough to want to skip them. And there are some usability things. I only ever do this one book at time, and not that often. If only one book is done, do you automatically do the match? If nothing was displayed, I'd question if it had worked at all. Or is it only to be done when multiple books are being linked. And does anything else need to be done to show that it actually worked for all books? By that I mean prompt at the end saying how many books were actually matched or something like that.

For the record, if you are trying to set the GR identifier for a lot of books, I think you should use the bulk metadata download. That will do multiple books, update the metadata, allow you to review the changes or accept them all and show you a list of failures. And generally, I find the matching is better.
