Upgrade StorageSnapshot entire Quarto books?
Quarto books published as website are becoming more and more prevalent. I just added the frontpage of one such book to zotero via the browser connector and I was stunned at how impecable the web snapshot was! It is just as functional as a regular browser, with the added bonus that I can highlight and add notes to parts of the text. I mean, even the TOC section links work and redirect me to section of the snapshot rather than to a web version!

I know this is a long-shot and not something that can be implemented easily, but it would be amazing if somehow an entire Quarto book can be snapshot and stored as a single entry in a Zotero collection. This would allow complete offline use of such a book, plus notes and annotations.
I realize that this would likely be a huge undertaking, so I'm just putting it up for discussion. I find html nowadays to be much superior to PDFs for use on a computer, but the downside is that it is very difficult to use offline and to annotate. Having potentially the option to snapshot an entire Quarto website would bridge the gap between the advantages of the HTML format, and the ability to archive and annotate documents.

adamsmithThe snapshot is tricky but quarto does convert to epub (which is basically* HTML optimized for books) and is supported by Zotero

AbeJellinek@sprocker: Note that you can use View -> Scrolled when viewing an EPUB to make it behave like a webpage (instead of a paginated book).
