Feature request: Create parent item when showing an item without parent

oyvindbs
Sometimes when I add files that are not recognized by Zotero I need to open the file to find the title/author, ISBN or DOI so that I can fill inn the parent item. However, if I open the pdf/epub before I have already created an empty parent item I have to return to the main library to be able to add a parent item and the information. It is not possible to press "Create parent item" when viewing the file. I know this is a minor feature, but it would be great if there was a way to create parent item in the attachment info on the side when viewing an attachment without parent item. For most of the files this goes automagically, so it is extra frustrating that the manual version is not easier.

(I could of course start to add the parent item before opening the file. This is better but when the file has an identifier (DOI/ISBN) in the text I still have to exit the file and create a new parent item from the identifier so it's not a foolproof solution).
