with a hand coded 1 element file but never got any further.
Or Bricktrak, as people have mentioned, but I could never get it working (I
didn't try very hard though)

The problem with this (and with Briktrak) is that there are a few Bricklink
parts  whose numbers are not the same as the LDraw parts.  There was an attempt
a while back to normalize the numbering system across the main part cataloging
sites but I don't think it got very far.
