"get pdf" context menu item

How about this:

Assume you have a reference, but not the accompanying pdf (say because you weren't on your university network while adding the reference).

Now it would be great to just be able to right-click on the reference, select "get pdf" and have Zotero download and attach the pdf. In essence, this new menu item would simply kickstart the second part of the process that happens when you add an item to Zotero via the addressbar icon: checking whether a pdf file can be found for the item and then downloading it.

As an extra bonus, Zotero would do a google scholar search for items where it doesn't already have the correct URL in order to find the pdf.
