Feature-Request: Exposing the file ID through the UI (then API)...

edited November 8, 2024
GIVEN that I'm using Zotero for my literature
WHEN I create a link in Obsidian
THEN I copy the file ID from the document's Info in Zotero

E.g. [Chapter 10 - Doing phenomenological analysis](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/LCWHNAWW)

This would overcome the workarounds like this: https://curtismchale.ca/2023/05/24/creating-direct-links-to-zotero-documents-in-obsidian/

Or, having to right-click on a file in Zotero, select "Show in Finder" and copying the folder name from there (risks accidentally renaming the folder).

If this feature were expressed through an API then it could be integrated by Obsidian plug-ins, such as "Zotero Integration", making it even more helpful and reducing the overhead of extra plug-ins.
