worldcat.org does that now with links to google books and to amazon. see
http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/777896&referer=brief_results for an example.
worldcat local has a slightly different presentation (and we don't have
the amazon links turned on) -- see
http://uwashington.worldcat.org/oclc/777896&referer=brief_results
worldcat local inherits this functionality from the worldcat.org platform.
we didn't have to do anything -- when it was implemented for
worldcat.org, it showed up for our worldcat local instance as well.
