Yes, but performance could be an issue. Opening another library in order to display book details could be unacceptably slow. I don't know. A "performance problem" could be mitigated with caching, for example if the timestamp on the "other" metadata.db hasn't changed, but I can't say if this makes sense in the context you are envisioning.
What I need, really, is someone who is interested in making a generator plugin (almost certainly a User Interface Plugin that registers a generator function), so we can work out exactly how (and whether) it would work.
