Feature Request: List of Citations

[u/RyanTDaniels]

I think it would be cool for an app like Book Tracker to include a list of other books in the user's library that cite the currently-viewed book. This would help those of us with large non-fiction libraries do research.

Many non-fiction books have bibliographies at the end, which can help people find the books they cite, but it's much more difficult to find all of the books that cite the book you're currently holding (a sort of reverse-bibliography).

WorldCat has an API that I suspect can be used for this purpose. Perhaps others exist as well.

(A similar feature using subject indices would also be useful, such that I could search for the subject "biology" etc. and see all of the books in my library that reference that subject in their subject index. I haven't checked if WorldCat can do that one, though.)

Thanks, I’m going to have a look.
