Upgrade Storageoutput style that includes *both* the VOR DOI and the green OA DOI/link?
So I got some advice about this on social media and want to continue the discussion here, where it's more searchable for the future.
I had asked:
Is there a citation output style that includes *both* the DOI for the version of record *and* a DOI or URL for the self-archived version?
Is there a #Zotero plugin that adds the green #OA links to records in your library -- even if you have access via subscriptions?
And Adam Smith said:
you could take advantage of unpaywall API for this, so add the DOI twice in two formats, both with prefix="https://doi.org/" and with prefix="OA Version: https://unpaywall.org/" (this is within any CSL style of your choice)
Basically add
towards the end of the bibliography section of any CSL style of your choice.

All that is just recap :)
My new question is:
When I tried that in the Zotero Style Editor (which was super helpful btw), I ended up with a sort of Frankenstein's Monster of a URL.
First it had https://unpaywall.org/ (not hyperlinked) followed immediately by the DOI of the version of record (which was a hyperlink to the VOR).
When I tested that pattern, by copying the whole thing into the browser, with a paper which (I happen to know) has a green OA version, it worked! The link "https://unpaywall.org/10.1177/09567976231221990" resolved to a PDF in an institutional repository. This is great! But, it prompts questions:
1. In this case there is a green OA version for Unpaywall to resolve to. But what happens when there is no green OA version? I tested it with another record which I knew only had a paywalled version, and the link https://unpaywall.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307567 resolved to the VOR. That's not ideal.... I'd love it if I could display the Unpaywall link *only* when it actually leads somewhere useful.
2. I'd kind of like it if I could display, not a link that relies on Unpaywall continuing to work, but a link to the underlying green OA document (in the case above where it works, that would be https://dx.doi.org/10.7302/22357). Presumably this would be harder.
3. If it is only possible to have the Unpaywall + VOR DOI link, can I format it so that the hyperlink points to the Unpaywall link, not the VOR DOI?
Sorry it's so long!

2. Yes, significantly harder: you'd again need to get the URL/DOI (from unpaywall, presumably) and then add it into the metadata (e.g. into the URL field or somehow into Extra) and then program the citation style accordingly.
