Add 'fully supported' collection site dropdown list option
We would like there to be a 'fully supported' option to add a collection site dropdown list, not simply documentation to do it ourselves with the caveat that Innovative can't be responsible for whether or not it works. I've included a screenshot that shows how it actually doesn't work well on mobile, and we aren't able to do much about that. However, if there were a fully supported dropdown option, I think it's safe to assume it would be optimized for mobile use as well. This is what we would want.
This is not 'already supported' as was stated in the previous idea https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/46814701-add-collection-site-dropdown-list-to-vega because as you can see in the documentation in Supportal here https://iii.rightanswers.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=240201122129203&guest=0, there is a clear note that it is on us to make it work for our site. As shown in the attached screenshot, we haven't been able to do so for mobile use.

It would make sense to be able to add integrated links to collection sites (when applicable) in the "library info" widget, which already has a dropdown list of locations. Not a replacement for their website link, but a way for it to feel like a patron is going to different collections in the same consortium/catalog.
