[Koha] Koha pluging for linking fields and RDA -76X-78X fields

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

I realized from this thread and the email exchange with Mercedes, that
the value builder for linking records is not very well known. I started
to file a bug, only to realize I had done it before already, suggesting
that we add the plugin to the default frameworks. I really think it
would make it more visible/discoverable:

*Bug 29733*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29733> -
MARC21: Link 7xx linking fields to marc21_linking_section.pl value
builder in sample frameworks

What do you think?

The 78X fields have long been used between related serials/periodicals, also.  In case you haven't seen them, there are excellent examples in the MARC Bibliographic Formats, MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data: Table of Contents (Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress) (loc.gov)<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/>

Maybe I'm not understanding your question or explaining it well?  Do please let me know!
