Include authority cross-references in Browse Bib Headings
The very useful Browse Bib Headings tool includes only information from bib records. It would be extremely useful if it also included authority cross-references for controlled headings, similar to how the Primo browse works. This way, if a user tries to use the Browse Bib Headings and enters the non-preferred term, the cross-reference will let them know that they need to search on the preferred term.

This says completed, but is what was completed actually doing what was asked?
I believe what is being asked here is for the Browse list (for bibliographic records not authorities) to show the cross-references. Am I misunderstanding what was being asked?
I would like to also see the cross-references appearing in a browse list in Primo (VE). When we were on the back office, those cross-references were there. But they aren't there using VE.
is there a different idea that I can vote for? Or was this not implemented as asked? Or am I misunderstanding what was asked here? Thanks.

Can you confirm that this will really work with all CZ authorities and not only local authorities? Thanks

Browsing according to references can be very useful

At the State Library of NSW we find the browse search immensely useful. We agree it would be greatly enhanced by the addition of authorities.

The Browse Bib Headings feature currently only includes headings from the 1XX fields. It would make it a lot easier to find authorized headings if the references from the 4XX and 5XX were included in the index. For an example of how this *should* work, please see the Library of Congress's authority file at http://authorities.loc.gov. The screenshots below show what you get if you search for variants on a person's name. In the first image, you see that you are given a "References" button. Clicking that button shows you a listing of the authorized terms that should be used instead (second image).
