Easily adding content found in pubmed to your Drupal Biblio (and Agaric) enhanced siteEasily adding content found in pubmed to your Drupal Biblio (and Agaric) enhanced site

After dreaming about using views to query other databases, namely pubmed... and having an import button for the content you really want... I realized that rather than writing views understanding of authors and mesh terms and titles to be able to add to the URL query entrez wonderfully allows us to query PubMed and other databases with.... it would be far, far easier to give the people who need to find articles an 'import this article' button in the browser.
Possibly using http://drupal.org/project/prepopulate
Usable as a model, the post to del.icio.us popup button:
http://bsmagic.googlepages.com/popup_post_del.icio.us
(We want it pop-up so they can keep browsing pubmed)
Even more exciting integration (add the "import this" button directly to pubmed search results) could be done for Firefox with greasemonkey or a custom browser plugin.
(But if you did want to follow the crazy extend views approach, the Flickr Views integration would be a good place to look as a model.)

Your pubmed concept
You describe exactly what I'm wanting to do, to browse PubMed and be able to import to Drupal a ref to a browsed article. Did the concept go anywhere?
