Upgrade StorageRequest: User-controlled setting for in-text citation → reference hyperlinks
Hello Zotero team,
I would like to request a feature related to hyperlinks in Zotero citations when using the Microsoft Word plugin.
In recent Zotero versions (e.g., Zotero 7), hyperlinks from in-text citations to the reference list are handled automatically, but there is no visible or user-controllable option to enable, disable, or troubleshoot this behavior. As a result, when hyperlinks do not work (due to Word settings, document corruption, or plugin issues), users have no clear way to diagnose or control the feature.
Feature request:
Please consider adding an explicit and visible option in Document Preferences (or Zotero settings) to:
Enable or disable hyperlinks for in-text citations
Clearly indicate whether citation-to-bibliography linking is active
Optionally re-generate or repair citation hyperlinks in existing documents
This would be especially helpful for:
Thesis and dissertation writing
Users submitting to journals with specific hyperlink requirements
Troubleshooting cases where Ctrl/Cmd + Click does not navigate to references
Thank you for your continued work on Zotero. It is an essential tool for researchers, and this small addition would significantly improve usability and transparency.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
