What's needed now is a textual citation that can serve as a unique name
for the work, with an optional addition for the expression. This is an
extended or more refined 700 $a $t.
In a database context, the concept of "Scenario 1" is of course that you
link to a work record via a URI. But there has to be a textual
represenation as well, a brief and concise one - in a word, a
"citation". In a presentation context, like an OPAC, you can of course
not present a label saying "preferred access point".
