Is it possible, instead of an ISBN link, to send a
query consisting of author
and title to the service that the user has selected in preferences?

In some cases yes, in some no, results may vary. Here's one link that would
allow that:
http://isbn.nu/advanced.html
Here's the AddAll used search:
http://used.addall.com/
The ABE advanced search:
http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookSearch
The Alibris advanced search:
http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?S=R
And the Library of Congress Advanced Search:

After a bit this gets pretty complicated and unless you are going to go
into the business you run into diminishing returns.
