First, I'm asking that items in the lower right (Reagents) be shift-click linkable just like the icon in the lower left. Nothing more.

If you want to do something more exotic, then an indented, multi-line chat output would be acceptable (using crtl-click on the lower left icon?). Using the Mark "S" Boomstick as an example:

• 2 x [Froststeel Tube]
  • 16 x [Cobalt Bar]
    • 32 x [Cobalt Ore]
  • 2 x [Crystallized Water]
• 10 x [Saronite Bar]
  • 20 x [Saronite Ore]
• 1 x [Hair Trigger] (vendor)
• 1 x [Walnut Stock] (vendor)

The "ore" lines and the "(vendor)" strings are information I think you have available. If not, leave them out.

While this may be "low tech", its what I need when responding to requests for specific items and their materials. If I'm hawking my profession, then the existing profession link and recipe link are sufficient.

Is this difficult to do?

I believe the simplest solution is just to allow shift-click on items in the materials (lower left) portion of the window.

Speaking of the GnomeWorks Auction tab, would it be possible to special case bars so that you also look for ore? I'm sure there are other simple "special cases" like bolts and cloth. A complex "special case" would be ink and herbs.

Maybe another way to put this is, here is where I might want cross profession expansion.

I believe the simplest solution is just to allow shift-click on items in the materials (lower left) portion of the window. This gives me the ability to create the links myself.

For example, I see someone in Trade Chat looking for a Mark "S" Boomstick. I whisper them saying "I can make that for you, do you have the materials?". They reply "What are the materials?".

At this point, a single recipe link doesn't work for them (unless they are an engineer) and a response with my Engineering profession doesn't seem appropriate. I'd rather just respond: 10x [Saronite Bar], [Hair Trigger] (vendor), [Walnut Stock] (vendor), 16x [Cobalt Bar], 2x [Crystallized Water].

The fact that he may not be a miner (or I might not be a miner) is probably OK (i.e. cross profession linking isn't needed).

Note that if I queue this item, go to the AH, open the Gnomeworks Tab, and click Scan Auctions, the Reagent list is exactly what I want (plus the counts).

Would it be possible to link from a recipe's materials to chat? This is different than linking the recipe to chat. For example, linking the engineering recipe Mark "S" Boomstick shows the materials needed are 10 Saronite Bars, 2 Froststeel Tubes, Hair Trigger, Walnut Stock.

The Froststeel Tube is an engineering item with materials of 8 Cobalt Bar and Crystallized Water.

If I could link from the materials section of the Gnomeworks window, then I can more easily tell a non-engineer what materials they need to supply if they want me to make them this gun.

Any other "better" solution like a link materials (recursively) button would be acceptable! I used to have an addon that did this in an indented multi-line list to chat, but it is no longer available.

With r146 I selected filter recipes by skill but when I went to clear the filter, it would not clear. I can change the filter (i.e. orange to yellow or green to orange).

On r144, Fire Prism is Orange with 1/525/525/525 skill values. On r146, Fire Prism is Green with 1/1/263/525. It should be Orange all the way to 525. My toon is currently 524.

Austere Shadowspirit Diamond is Green with 1/515/520/525 on both r144 and r146. I believe this is correct.
