Display of 7xx in general
In addition to the above problem with 7xx analytics in particular, 7xx's provide an even more general problem. They might be a uniform title for work cataloged (I can't figure out in what circumstances they'd be this, normally the uniform title is in 140, but apparently sometimes it's in a 730. serials?). They might be a 'citation' (controlled heading) to a related work. They might be an analytic. They might be something else entirely. Is there any way to know what it is? Got me. Without knowing what it is, it's hard to display it appropriately for the user.
 
How can I know if a 700 is an analytic, or just a related work? Can I even call a person listed in a 700 a "contributor" if it's got a $t? It might not be a contributor at all, but just the author of a related work.
