[Zotero 7 Beta] Suggestions: Whole and pinned peek view window; boxes for links

Kudos for the developers, you've done a great job for the academic commuity. Here are some suggestions for improving zotero:

1. In the current zotero pdf reader, when the cursor is hovering above an internal link, a peek view window shows up. However, the view is often incomplete and does not capture the whole item that the link links to. This is especiallly troublesome for figures, tables and citations:

2. It would add much more convenience if the peek view window can be pinned for figures、tables、equations or even citations. And it would be even better if the pinned window supports zooming in/out.

This screenshot is from Readpaper, a popular literature management tool that resembles Zotero. It supports pinned (and wholely-captured) peek view windows for figures/tables.

3. In some pdf readers, for some papers(not all, and I don't know why), links are boxed with different colors, e.g., green for citation links, red for equation links, blue for external URL links, etc. I think zotero pdf reader could also borrow this feature as a toggle option. It is convenient for quickly spotting out different kinds of links.
