Update metadata function

jonasl
I propose to add an "update metadata" function for existing items. It should work in the same way as "retrieve metadata" does for PDF's.

Use case 1: I often read in-press publications which has no publication data at the time I read them. At a later date, I'd like to be able to right-click and select "update metadata" and it should fetch the date and possible changes in other metadata.

Use case 2: I've got a lot of items (added when Zotero was still young...) where Zotero didn't find all metadata. I'd like to right-click and select "update metadata". I imagine that Zotero/Scholar has gotten better and that more metadata has become available in the meantime, since I added these items.

This should be really easy to implement. The simplest way to do it would be to not remove the "retrieve metadata" function for PDF's, just because it has been retrieved once.
