I really want itemBarcodeFallbackSearch 
<https://koha-community.org/manual//22.11/en/html/circulationpreferences.html#itembarcodefallbacksearch>
 to work for this: You make just one bib and add an item per dino, giving each 
item a barcode "dino 1," "dino 2," and so on. At checkout, the staff member 
enters "dino" for the barcode,  gets presented with a list of dino items, and 
selects the first available one. Ideally, you'd replace "dino" with a word 
that's easily memorable for staff but doesn't appear in any other records. 
Maybe just "dinotoy"?

But this scheme runs into two issues that might really need to be addressed as 
bugs. First, the search results for the fallback search don't filter out items 
that are currently checked out. Second, it doesn't even show you which are 
checked out and which are available. So really staff get an unusable list of 
all the dino toys.

But either of those things might be correctable via jQuery?
