Allow customization of the display on the Primo Services Page so that metadata from the OpenURL doesn't present as a matched resource
Currently, when a user follows an OpenURL link to a Primo Services page, the page takes the metadata fields from the OpenURL and presents them in a format that mirrors the "Brief record display" from Primo search results and full record displays. This is misleading to users, who assume that the OpenURL has found a match for a resource when in fact they may not have.
We would like to be able to configure a separate display for the Primo Services Page, so that we can make it clearer to users that what they are seeing is a formatted version of the metadata, and not necessarily a citation for a legitimate resource. The need for this has always existed, but we believe it is becoming more pressing as we are seeing increasing numbers of fake, AI-generated citations in databases that generate links to our Primo.

Like the idea of a different display for these. Given the source ID is in the OpenURL maybe a translation of where the metadata came from? Not that this helps when the source is an AI generated citation in an article that has been peer reviewed and published in a reputable source. Some sort of disclaimer at least.

Hallucinated records from OpenURLs (especially Google Scholar) have been a problem for a while and AI hallucinations in the wider world seem to multiply our problems. In the absence of a more comprehensive rethink of how OpenURL is handled this seems like the next best thing.
