With some customization of the OPAC templates and indexing
definitions, it would be easy to add links in a record display to do a
search on record ID.  That way, you could travel from a bib that has a
77x$w to its parent, and vice versa.

It would be possible to extend this so that parent bib could display
the list of its children more directly, but some development would be
required.
