Oh yes! This would be a good idea. I mean it's really easy to add a 
field like volume, journaltitle and so on. I've done that in my case 
with the help of Demian.

But you end up like adding these fields all over the place, like for 
OpenURL, for Citation, for Myfavorites and so on...

...while this could really be of general use.

However, for some other users, the callback code may still be the best approach -- it appears to be incorporating some fields (subject headings, series titles, etc.) that are not part of the equivalent OpenURL.  Maybe this should be a configuration option in the [RefWorks] section of config.ini.  If you think this makes sense, I'd be willing to take a few minutes to look into adding it.
