Upgrade StorageZoteroCiteLinker: Instantly Link Citations to Bibliography (New Ribbon Tab for MS Word)
Hello everyone,
If you're like me and write long academic papers, you know how annoying it is to constantly scroll between your in-text citations (e.g., [1], (Author, 2020)) and the full reference in your bibliography. Especially when working with MS Word.
To solve this, I've compiled and heavily modified an open-source MS Word add-in called ZoteroCiteLinker. It adds a new "Zotero Cite Linker" tab directly to your Word Ribbon, giving you one-click control over your citations.
What it does:
Link All Citations: One click scans your document and links every Zotero citation to its matching entry in the bibliography.
Unlinking: A "Unlink Citations" button only removes the links created by this add-in. It won't break your Table of Contents or any other hyperlinks in your document.
Utility Tools: It includes extra buttons to find and activate all web URLs (http://) and email addresses (mailto:) in your document, turning them into clickable links.
Customize: You can change the color of all your citations (e.g., to blue, red, or back to black) or even apply a custom Word Character Style (like "Emphasis").
All the installation instructions and code are available on GitHub. I'm sharing it in case it's useful for your own workflow!

I'd love to hear any feedback you might have.
