Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to be able to go from a book I've just finished to get to the next book in the series. Sometimes the easiest way to do that seems to be to click on the book under "Local Books", but it turns out that version of the display code omits the series link, so I'm "disappointed" and have to find some other way to get to the book's series. I mean, it's not the end of the world ... but why not ask :) .

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if every way to display a book would give all the same clickable links -- you could add or remove playlists, go to any of the series the book is in, and so on. But at least this one thing: that local books have a clickable series link.

Similar issues were closed as "not planned", but to present another use case: a family member uses a dedicated device for audiobook playback that has no connectivity when away from home (or wifi turned off to conserve battery).

Offline series info is a must-have for ABS adoption in my house.
