Upgrade StorageReference localisation and status
Hello, I am a strong user of the famous Zotero standalone, for professional scientific purpose.
For me, zotero would be perfect but :
1 # - When we do a mouseover or a clic on a registered reference, it does not show where this ref is registered. I mean, in which folder collection or sub-collection ? This is really annoying. I know that such a function exist but I do not remmber how, anyway it is no user-friendly, no button anyway, and this should be automatic on mouseover.
Also, we do not never know if the citation is a duplicate entry : very annoying !
> On mouseover a cite, I would like the correpsonding folders to be higlighted.
2 # - The Zotero browser addon does not tell us if a reference is allready in Zotero, we have to check it manualy. :-(
I mean : the small icon in the adresse bar is not changing when we are browsing a reference that is allready in our zotero collection.
For example : under chrome bowser, before adding a bookmark, the star icon is white. But if later I come back on the same website, the stars is yellow, indicating that I have allready bookmarked this website : VERY usefull function !

But, why this does not appear just on mouseover or clic ? = simple !
What would generally be possible is to warn users when importing something that already exists. There is a discussions that describes what is and isn't currently available here:
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/42379/warn-user-if-browser-importing-citation-from-journal-website-that-already-exists-in-library/
with a link to a more technical discussion about what making that generally available would entail. I don't think anyone of the core devs has time to implement that any time soon, though of course patches would be welcome.
