How to change what fields are displayed by default in Info pane

Hello!

I know that it is possible to include variables in the Extra field by including variables in the "variable: value" format. However, I do not know how to change what variables are actually shown in the Info panel.

My use case in particular is that I'm using the Bluebook Law Review style, and I have to include a permanent archive link, time, and explanatory parenthetical (for which I am using the "annote" variable) for every single Webpage-style citation.

I want to be able to change what variables show in the right side Info panel for each kind of citation. As one example, I want to include the variables "archive," "time," and "annote" on the Info panel so I do not have to paste them into the Extra field every time I cite a webpage. Here is an Imgur album with a visual representation of what I want:

I know that the schema.json file (https://github.com/zotero/zotero-schema/blob/master/schema.json) determines which fields show up in the Info panel (or at least, that is what I think—please correct me if I am wrong!). Is this the right way to go to modify the displayed fields? Is there a way to include a modified schema.json file in my standalone Mac version of Zotero? Or any version, for that matter?

Thanks!
