Originally raised by @seabelis before we had editions in solr in #5858:
Currently creating collection carousels only displays works. This can be limiting for folks who want to create collections in languages other than English (in most cases) or who want to feature specific covers, i.e. movie-tie ins, specific publisher collections (i.e. Penguin Classics)...
Problem
When carousels are work-only, the work cover we show may match the language or availability of whatever edition the patron gets routed to.
There are several situations where the current work-based carousels are limited:
- Querying for and showing specific editions of a certain language
- Querying for and showing specific editions by a certain e.g. publisher
Goal
QueryCarousels should be able to match editions where possible so that the patron can rely on its books being advertised in the right language and with the right availability.
Why now
We already have the ability to feature editions on our search page since #6377 landed in 2022. There's also a PR #7295 that implements a partial solution
