Ivan Masár commented on New Feature DS-1630
I'm not sure what the use case for this would be. When do you ask for an object that is not available as a bitstream? Perhaps you only have bibliographic records and physical items? In case you have difital objects in another system, why not implement the feature in that other system?

There is the request copy concept (DS-824, DS-830, DS-1585) for requesting access to items with access permissions. So if you have items in DSpace but they are access-restricted, you can still ask for that document.

For the ILL use case, we already support OpenURL, which can be used to create a request form - the data is available on the item page in forms of a COinS (Context Object in SPAN).

This request also fails to detail some technical points. What should that form do, send an email? Where is the email recipient configured? What fields should be pre-filled? I would presume username/email for logged in users and a handle. Or should all the item metadata be sent in message body?

To sum it up, this would be rather easy to implement, but I'm not sure about the benefits.
