Cite with a custom Text instead of Author/Title/Year
Hey guys,
i use biblatex (backend=biber, style=apa, natbib=true) in overleaf and zotero for managing my .bib file.
I now have the special case that in which i cite a website, without autor or year, so the only thing i have is the very long title of the website.
The whole title should be printed in the bibliography, but for the citation in my text (APA) i need a shortened title. Is there a way to set a specific citation text in zotero or a biblatex command that lets me choose a custom text together with the key, so that it creates an entry in the bibliography?
Thanks a lot!

bwiernikEnter the shortened title in the Short Title field. The APA CSL style (used to format bibliographies in Word processors and in pandoc) will use the Short Title field in text if the item has no authors/other creators. If that isn’t the case in BibTeX, you would need to examine or adjust the BibTeX style.
