Let's not get too hung up with inter-library links - most of my calibre:// links are intra-library links. This is what happens with show-book links (leaving VLs aside).
when
calibre://show-book/libraryA/32 is clicked:
if libraryA isn't the current library then calibre switches to libraryA and makes book 32 the current book in the libraryA book list.
if libraryA is the current library then calibre makes book 32 the current book in the libraryA book list.
Now lets look at what I envisage show-details links will do
when
calibre://show-details/libraryA/32 is clicked
an abridged Book Details window would pop for book 32 in libraryA - the current library list wouldn't change
That's it - no library switching, no loss of current book.
But that's the tricky part
If I put a view-book link to a book in library FOO into a book in library BAR - when I click on it in library BAR, library FOO becomes the current library.
I've 'tolerated' the limitation because I don't do much inter-library linking of content - my content links are predominantly intra-library links.
But the whole point of show-details is to maintain library and book currency. So, if that could be finagled for show details it could hopefully be retrofitted to view-book
