Could Zotero help me create a daily News Digest ?

Dear All,

This is a first message and first visit here so apologies if this is not the right place to post this message. This said, here is what I am doing and my question is to know if Zotero could help me in this task.

I am producing a press review which consist in collecting a list of web articles on a particular topic. The format I use for each collected reference is the following (format could be changed if necessary):

title of article, source, country, date
source
country
link
full text
author

Here is an illustration with an example:
---------
Development aid rose in 2009 and most donors will meet 2010 aid targets (OECD / Global) 14/04/2010

Outlet: OECD – Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
Country: Global

Read this article on line (the link to the article)

New OECD figures show continuing growth in development aid in 2009, despite the financial crisis.

Total net official development assistance (ODA) from the donors in the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) rose 0.7% in real terms, but the rise was 6.8% once debt etc.
-----------

The report comes with a table of content with the title of each reference (for example:
Development aid rose in 2009 and most donors will meet 2010 aid targets (OECD / Global) 14/04/2010) serving as a link to the full text of the article in the report.
The final report is sent via email.

Based on your experience of Zotero, do you think I could use ZOtero in this task ?
Many thanks for your feedback.
OCdR.

    Zotero doesn't currently have a function to output the full text of a report, so if you want it to do that automatically you're out of luck.

    It also can't put internal links into documents (e.g. from a TOC to a more extensive entry).

    Everything else seems like it's possible by writing a custom output style in csl, but I'm not sure I fully understand yet.

    Depending on your coding abilities you might be able to write an output filter in java script, but I'm not sure how the full text would work.
