This has been a problem for some time. I wanted a link to the record 
# and a similar url for a del.icio.us bookmark link. I got around the 
limit by entering a javascript in the ICON_RECORDLINK wwwoption:

<script type="text/javascript"> var recordid = "%s"; var persist = 
"<div class='bibRecordLink'><a id='recordnum' 
href='"+recordid+"'>Persistent link to this record</a></div><div 
class='bibRecordLinkTag'><a 
href='http://del.icio.us/post?url="+recordid+";'>Add to 
del.icio.us</a></div>"; document.write(persist); </script>


In other words, put the %s data in a variable and then you can use it 
as many times as you like. Watch the quotes when entering this script.
