Upgrade Storage[iOS] Feature request: integration with Shortcuts or any other way to programmatically interact
While the plugin ecosystem on desktop is great, data or behavior in the iOS app is currently completely inaccessible to existing automation tools on iOS, such as Shortcuts or Spotlight. If you were to make it possible to read and write data from the iOS app via Shortcuts, like many modern iOS apps do, it would make it possible to build plugin-like custom workflows that significantly improve iPad/iPhone Zotero workflow. While I love Zotero and have used it for years, a lot of my research workflow is gradually transitioning to iPad and I have to fight every with minor inconveniences that add up and that I know how I would be able to solve if only the iOS app was more open like the Mac app.
For example, the iOS app currently lacks saved searches or custom views. If I was able to query the Zotero database with a Shortcut (e.g. how you can query the Reminders or Notes database), you wouldn't even need to implement such a feature yourself (although it would be nice).
