At Wikipedia, when one is entering a bibliographical reference using the Cite/add a citation/automatic service, one can add a URL from Worldcat.org, and the full details of the publication will be automatically entered, field-by-field. It's extremely convenient, for two reasons. First, worldcat is a giant database, with high-quality records. Largely based on OCLC and the Library of Congress. Secondly, it's often easier to search in Worldcat to find the publication one wants, especially for rare books. Then, copying a URL is extremely easy.
May I suggest this as a feature for JabRef? The code must already be available in the Wikimedia sources, and I've seen a Worldcat-Zotero translator too. Worldcat could be added to the dropdown list of bibliographical services invoked by F5.
Many thanks for considering this,
Dominik
