Current status of using zotero:// urls to open items

davemurrayrust

I'd like to be able to open items in Zotero from external programs. In particular, I'm using ZotLit + Obsidian for notes, and I'd like to be able to click on items in Obsidian, and have them open in Zotero.

The plugin generates links of the form: zotero://select/library/items/UVPP2HWI

This used to work. Should it still work? If not, what should a link look like? Is there any current documentation?

Also - is it possible to link to collections?

Thanks!

Yes, it should still work.

You can link to collections with zotero://select/library/collections/[collection key], where collection key is the output of Tools -> Run JavaScript -> ZoteroPane.getSelectedCollection().key. (We'll have an easier way to generate these links in a future version.)
