[Feature Request] Copy a citation to clipboard

Migwell
I often have a situation where I'm writing an online post where I don't have or need Zotero integration, but I want to have a nicely formatted citation derived from something in my library. What I would like it the ability to right click a citation, and "copy citation to clipboard". Ideally I would then be prompted for the citation style I want, and the citation text string would then be copied to the clipboard. Is this something that could be implemented?

    This already exists, and always has. You can literally just right-click on items, choose "Create Bibliography from Items…", and copy a citation or bibliography to the clipboard in a style of your choosing.

    If it's something you're doing often in a given style, you'd want to use Quick Copy.

    Incredible. This is exactly the feature I wanted! I wonder if a right click menu item for this quick copy could be added to aid discoverability since neither the shortcut nor the drag-drop functionality is particularly evident to users.

    That already exists. See my edited comment above.

    Great, thanks!
