If there is a crosslink somewhere in the feature table (which I
think there is in Genbank, but I'm not sure particularly where off
the top of my head, and swissprot also has crosslinks), pull out
that piece of annotation (e.g. scan the attached features) and
retrieve the sequence entry using Bio::DB::GenBank or
Bio::DB::EMBL (or Bio::DB::Universal :-))
