Ability to search for eBook Alternative when both DOI and ISBN exist on a page

To replicate: please use Breda University for Applied Science

Background:

Currently, when DOI and ISBN exist on a webpage, the extension will always prioritise using DOI and looking for article alternatives. When there is no available full text, it will then look for OA or ILL.

However, in this case, where there is also an ISBN on the page: https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/978-1-83753-244-520241021/full/html
the extension did not run any search against it. If it does, then an eBook Alternatives will appear. Because the ISBN is listed in their holding.


Suggestion:

If there are both DOI and ISBN on a page, and the response is negative for the DOI, can we also parallelly run a check on the ISBN? Because ISBN may be listed in the holding, but not the DOI.
