Upgrade StorageURL protocol handlers in Ubuntu: zotero://open-pdf
Hi,
I'm wondering if someone here has some experience with URL protocol handlers in Ubuntu that could help me out.
I keep my notes outside of Zotero for a couple of reasons, and want to link to the pdf or the entry in Zotero. Ideally, I'd be able to click the link and Zotero would open with the right paper selected. I've seen that it's possible to use zotero://open-pdf in Windows and macOS to make Zotero open a specific pdf. Any idea on how to set this up in Ubuntu?
I found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/514125/url-protocol-handlers-in-basic-ubuntu-desktop which seems to go in the direction I want, and could open Zotero from a link, but how can I specify which pdf/item to open? Is it possible?
Thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Installing Zotero from that deb already takes care of the URL protocol and can open the PDF directly. I'd still like to know if it's possible to click and go to the Zotero item, but for now the link above is a good enough solution for me.
