That's harder - particularly where multiple dupe sets are considered.

It is impossible for books in multiple sets

If you show all books at once, some kind of divider is needed showing where each dupe set ends and the next starts. In working with my personal duplicate testing I found myself with lots of dupe sets, and having to do lots of searches - one for each group. It was a pain. Perhaps a quick key could be assigned to "show members of next duplicate set" but trying to actually type a new search for each new duplicate set would get repetitive. I suppose you're thinking of doing this via the tag browser, which I seldom use.

There clearly has to be a plugin involved here. I am assuming that books are viewed on the library view, rather than reinventing another view in the plugin. I see no reason why the plugin cannot handle the 'show members of next duplicate set' through a context menu entry or through a keyboard shortcut. It would remember the last one it looked at, get the next one (easy if they are numbers), and do the search for you. You can use the highlight option if you want to see them in a larger context, or turn highlight off to see only that set.
