Object-page links to play related mp3 audio content if it exists? (possible addition later on) #229

This came up in a post-app meeting: because much of the audio content from the app consists of individual mp3 files that are 1:1 with individual objects represented by records here, it would be interesting to think toward enabling object-record pages that have such related audio to let visitors click and hear it. This could be architected in several ways, depending in part on whether Blacklight has any built-in affordances related to audio. If it doesn’t, one possibility might be to have the audio files up on a plain webserver somewhere, to add those files' URLs to TMS, and then in Blacklight, to display a notice and button if such a URL exists, and if a visitor clicks that button, to launch an (embedded?) audio player and load that URL into it.

PS: I seem not to be able to add labels to issues here; this would not be a top-priority one for the time being, just something to keep on radar for later.
