More linking parameters for links in CDI records
I meant to submit this as an enhancement request but missed the deadline. We need the ability to do more than say Proxy Yes/No to links in CDI records. If you are an OpenAthens library, some vendors use the Proxy and others don't and Proquest in particular doesn't. In OpenAthens Proquest URLs get no redirector and instead have a ?accountid=*** with the customer ID. We need to be able to customize CDI links depending on vendor and to put a customer ID to build the correct URL, at least for Proquest CDI URLs. Also, it seems like if there is a "link in record" it won't show any full text links for the same item in activated collections, which have the better URL if you are an OpenAthens library for the above reason.

Would you be able to provide some example links from your environment?
We're working on transitioning from ezproxy to OpenAthens now and this caught our eye for something to be concerned about, but we're a bit confused without seeing practical examples.
