View an authority record by id
Suggested by cataloging staff, there is no way to view an authority record directly by id. The 'Manage Authorities' interface does not allow retrieval of an authority record by id. This branch leverages Supercat to display an authority as marctxt in the staff client. Staff are ambivalent about the right-click interface for viewing authorities in the marc editor (which could be a separate issue), so they feel this is important. Primary use case is to quickly view authority using id indicated in $0 subfield. Outstanding question -- should this really load the authority in the marc editor?
Here's the working branch:

Having sat on this for two weeks, it's useful, but better if it would really load the authority in the marc editor. Will look into that when I get some time ... but no idea when that will be.
