Upgrade StorageContext menu request -> Open PDF in System Default
It would be a significant ease of use improvement if the right click context menu offered an option to "Open PDF in System Default" when the the "Open PDFs using" preference is set to "Zotero."
The right click context menu currently offers to "Open PDF" or "Open PDF in new window" when the file handling preference is set to "Open PDFs using Zotero." The later option opens in the Zotero viewer and is not available if the 'open using' option is set to "System Default." I use the Zotero viewer most of the time. But, occasionally, I need to do something that requires opening the file in my system default viewer (e.g. snap shots for making slides). Currently, to do this I choose "Show File" then open the file from Finder in my default browser. Later I need to remember to close the Finder window that popped up. It would be far better to have the option in the context menu. (And maybe the option to use the Zotero viewer when the default is set to system default.)
