How can I create a Bibliography from imported items with their corresponding URL

brianovel

I have a list of imported items by identifier, I'm selecting all, right-clicking and selecting "create bibliography from items". I usually choose copy to clipboard and that's it just that I need to include those into a webpage and I would like to add their corresponding url as hyperlink. Is there an easy way to do that?

Thank you!

not really. If the URL is part of the citation style (which you can force for journal articles using the "Include URL" option under Cite--> Styles in the preferences) many WYSWYG editors like the one in WordPress will auto-convert URLs to hyperlinks. But there's no way to get Zotero itself to set the a href tag etc.

Ok, I understand it cannot set the "a href" property automatically but I see that each imported item has a url attached so the url is somehow connected to that entry. There must be e way to export the citation with that attached URL. I need somehing like:

1. Kouris-Blazos A, Belski R. Health benefits of legumes and pulses with a focus on Australian sweet lupins. Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2016;25(1):1–17. | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26965756

The closest match regarding this matter is the academic wordpress pligin witch displays the citation and at the end places the source URL like this:

Kouris-Blazos A, Belski R. Health benefits of legumes and pulses with a focus on Australian sweet lupins. Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2016;25(1):1–17. [PubMed] - with a hyperlink on [PubMed] pointing to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26965756

Oh, you have attached URLs, not URLs in the actual URL field. Those wouldn't typically be cited. In this particular case, because pubmed is a catalog, it doesn't actually hold full text to articles.
The way to do this would be to customize a citation style to include the PMID followed by the base URL, i.e.
<text variable="PMID" prefix="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/"/>
