zotero://select doesn't find merged item

I just discovered the "Zotero Select" links. I noticed that when I merge two items in zotero, one of the "Zotero Select" links stops working. I thought that the merge function keeps the "Zotero Select" links intact so that both links point to the newly merged item. Is there any workaround for this so I can still find the zotero item once the original items are merged?

Thanks!

This doesn't happen now, but we could consider redirecting those after merging.

This would be super helpful! Also, how do citations in a Word document behave when a duplicate is merged? I always assumed that the merge ensures that the link to the zotero item is retained.

Yes merging ensures the link is retained in Word documents and collections
