Icons to Indicate Unowned Works Contained in Owned Works

Requesting icons (checkmarks, ticks, or otherwise) to indicate unowned works that are contained in owned works, e.g. Max Eastman’s Enjoyment of Poetry (1913), contained in Eastman’s Enjoyment of Poetry with Other Essays in Aesthetics (1939), in turn contained in Eastman’s Enjoyment of Poetry, with Anthology for Enjoyment of Poetry (1951). See also: https://www.librarything.com/topic/341559#7829057, https://www.librarything.com/topic/341559#7829267, and https://www.librarything.com/topic/341559#7829436

But if the work is contained in a work you own, then you own that work, too, don't you?

Maddz, melannen, SandraArdnas. Others?

>2 lilithcat: Exactly. The request is for an indication that, if I have Max Eastman’s Enjoyment of Poetry, with Anthology for Enjoyment of Poetry (1951), I also have Enjoyment of Poetry with Other Essays in Aesthetics (1939) and Enjoyment of Poetry (1913) contained in it.

Okay, I get it. It was the use of the term "unowned" that confused me!

>3 jasbro: Yes, this has been requested as feature for a long time. My own personal addendum would be to let us rate and review constituent parts too in such cases, but even just checkmarks would already be very helpful

I’d love this!

(Pony: A half checkmark to indicate a work where I’ve catalogued something contained within it.)

Definitely! It’s a way to avoid duplication when you have an omnibus - or an aide-memoire to replace a multi-author anthology which contains 1 short with a single-author anthology which contains several shorts forming part of a series.

That would be a very nice addition to avoid getting duplicates.

Yes please! to ticks to indicate individual works within omnibus that I own.
