Because some common books use volume numbers for reference purposes, please add volume number to books in series.

I don't think "adding" volume numbers to books is essential when any reference can easily be linked to the correct location.
Does FC 89 actually refer to a volume in The Fathers of the Church series?
Is the full reference hyperlinked?
Does John 13.240-241 refer to the same location?

The problem is multipart:

When dealing with patristics, many books contain multiple works not all of which are given in the title. In the cases that led to this request the volume number was the only unambiguous link to the book used for the translation.
When a volume is in the cloud, the link in the ACC will come up as not existing when it is simply in the cloud. This means you have limited information on which books you need to download.
Some patristic resources have different references depending upon the publishers. Especially for Ephrem the Syrian the reference only gets you part way to the correct work and location.

I have run into this being problematic only in patristic resources with ACC being the major offender at providing problematic references.

What I am trying to do is build a reading/study plan based on the ACC in which one reads the excerpts in context - usually a homily or chapter. In this context I find this statement false:

any reference can easily be linked to the correct location.

I'm finding about 1 of 10 references can't be matched.
