offer hyperlink to eResource site
We have had feedback from customers and staff that they would like the option to pass through to the eResource vendor from the resource record (via the 856). There is a "details" > "Note (electronic)" field that could be hyperlink.
Right now many libraries have their 856 $z or $y in the Note (Hyperlink) field that says something like "Click here..." or "Click link" - but this field is not hyperlinked.

We are in the process of migrating into Vega Discover, so I don't exactly know if I am commenting appropriately, but I vote that this is important to offer, and I want to add that a statement like "Click here" even if not hyperlinked isn't great accessible language for users relying on screenreading/adaptive technology. I'd recommend when pointing to a link outward that the text read something like "Visit this resource" instead of "Click here"....so it doesn't have to be customized to the specific vendor, but is more descriptive of where clicking/link leads.

It would be beneficial to have the link to the excerpt displayed as well.
