Upgrade StoragePlugin that links references in PDFs to items in your library
Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a small plugin called Reference Linker.
When you open a paper in Zotero, it scans the References section and highlights papers that are already saved in your library. You can then click the highlighted reference to open its PDF or jump to the Zotero item.
I'm not sure whether a similar plugin already exist. But, I thought this might be useful to someone other than me.
It currently supports:
Numbered and author–year reference styles
DOI and arXiv ID matching
Exact and fuzzy title matching
Multi-column reference pages
The highlights are only added to the Reader interface, so the PDF itself and your Zotero annotations are not modified.
It’s still an early version, and PDF text extraction can be inconsistent depending on the publisher or citation layout. I’ve tested it with several IEEE, AAAI, and ICML-style papers, but I’d appreciate feedback on PDFs or reference styles that do not work correctly.
