Display availability of citations when direct linking is enabled
When direct linking is enabled, Leganto displays a "View Online" link for every citation regardless of whether or not it is actually available online. Availability is only calculated after the user clicks "View Online." If the item is not available, they are redirected to a blank screen with the message: "No full text available". This is an unnecessarily confusing and frustrating user experience and different from how direct linking works in Primo, where "View Online" only appears when full text is available. This enhancement would allow availability to be calculated when the reading list is loaded to avoid confusion and provide Leganto users with accurate availability information.

I fully support this idea but want to add the following:
also when direct linking is not enabled, it doesn't make much sense to show "Check availability" when no link is available under Links & availability in the direct view.
