Idea: Widget to link-back to spotlight exhibits from other websites (like searchworks and purl)

Wouldn't it be cool if when you found an item in Searchworks that happened to be part of an exhibit, you could see this in the Searchworks results page with a link right back to the exhibit itself? This would give you better context for the item you just found via search.

So maybe we could have a embeddable JS widget that, given a druid, looks into the Spotlight solr index (via some API call?) to identify if the druid is part of an exhibits, and if so, which ones. It then constructs a link back to the exhibit(s) in HTML that is part of the widget. You then drop this widget into Searchworks or PURL.

Possibly related to #694.

We now do this. Yay! Closing this ticket.
