Lookup for more than one record type #587

@wsalesky For the Bibliography in Persons we want to be able to reference records from the manuscripts, bibl, and the works collections. I'm unsure how to make this request to the API or if this is even possible. (I have played with different formulations for the API request but none worked out.)

Done. Multiple collections can be specified in the collection parameter, separated by a comma. See config documentation for how to. https://github.com/majlis-erc/manuForma/blob/main/forms/formGenerator/config-documentation.xml#L76

Example lookup, searching multiple collections:

<lookup api="/exist/apps/majlis/api/search/biblWorksCitation?format=xml&amp;collection=manuscripts,bibl&amp;q=" 
            elementName="bibl" 
            formName="bibl" 
            lookupLabel="Look up bibliographic record"/>
