[Koha] Reserves

I have a question about how reserves work in Koha:

I know from discussions with Chris that Koha handles titles in a particularly 
efficient manner, storing all distinct titles separately from the actual 
bibliographic records.  So the entry from the master list might be:

The Two Towers

and that might encompass:

The Two Towers (c. 1965)
The Two Towers (c. 2002)
The Two Towers (audiocasstte)

When placing reserves, a patron searching for the book version of The Two 
Towers would usually be satisfied by either the 1965 or the 2002 versions, even 
though technically speaking they should have separate MARC records because 
they're different editions.

In Koha is there a way to reserve "any copy of any book version of this title," 
or must you pick an edition and then reserve "any copy of this edition?"
