That starts getting more difficult for a few reasons. First of all, the tracker
would have to return all the dependent files on the tracker in addition to the
requested files. Many of these files could well be already present on the
end-user's machine.
Secondly, from an architectural perspective, LDView doesn't have an easy way to
produce the list. The code that I have right now checks the tracker any time it
gets to a reference to a part file that it can't find.
We'd also have to agree on a format for the response containing the multiple
files.

Thanks for the info.
