So you can use it on other sources which do not have the 'metadata'.Ya, I'm sure it would be easier at the moment to try and think about the process and possible sites and current software we have in selecting and formatting information and making them into cards, then streamlining/automating it as much as possible with scripts and integrated programs and whatnot.
One thing I conceptualize is, if there's a plugin, it'd act both ways: Imagine there's a kind of dictionary like what's at csse/breen with the definitions and pronunciations, but the definitions contain information like the kanji/searched for word has a tag that it's the 'expression', the bracketed kana is marked as 'reading', the definition is 'meaning', and the newly implemented 'audio' is, well, 'audio'. The plugin, when you type a word and select 'export' or something, looks up this information and formats it into some kind of anki:// link data, that when someone else clicks on with the 'import' aspect of the plugin, creates and adds an Anki card with that format. Edit: Of course, one wouldn't require the other, but they could speed things up.
And obviously if it was a different/customizable Anki-friendly dictionary at bombperson's site, you could have your own card formats and media information, etc.
