[Koha] Temporary shelving location

[Jorge de Cardenas]

Is anybody using temporary shelving locations? What we would like to happen
is that an item has a permanent location & location set. Normally they
would be the same, but occasionally items are pulled and displayed e.g. a
holiday display table with holiday books, dvds, etc. The location would be
changed to reflect that they are on the display table so they can be found.
When they items are checked out/in they revert back to the permanent
location where they are shelved.

It would be a similar mechanism as items marked as lost. When they are
checked in or out they revert to available. We are currently using the Lost
field to mark the temporary display location but that requires modifying
core modules to allow holds on certain lost codes.
