URL scheme not working.

Hi, when I try to open a Zotero URL (e.g. zotero://select/library/items/B8TLGZ89):

if the Zotero app is already running:
* it not bring itself to front
* it does not select the requested item.
if the Zotero app is not running:
* clicking the URL starts the Zotero app.
* no items are selected.


I also have problem finding the item keys. It seems the usage of URL scheme is not documented anywhere (i found the source code for the handlers, but failed to follow the process behind the scene).

I tried several approach to find a valid key for a item but none of them work:
* install `zutilo` plugin, and click "copy select item links"
* reveal pdf files in file manager, and refer to the folder name as keys
* open the database with `sqlite3` and do a `select * from items` looking for keys.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, and Zotero 7.0.21 (64-bit).
I have correctly placed (symlink-ed) the `.desktop` file in "~/.local/share/applications", and i'm sure the url is handled by correct Zotero executable.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
