Feature request: an "open with" menu to open files with multiple softwares like in a file browser

tobiasBora
Hello,

I just tried Zotero, and it looks amazing, thanks for that (can't wait the annotation feature!). Right now, I'm using different pdf readers: Okular is my main pdf reader, and I'm using xournalpp when I want to annotate my pdfs with my graphic tablet. Right now, if I want to annotate my pdf it's a bit tedious: I need to right click on it, then "Locate the file", then in the file browser I click on "Open with", and finally I click on "Xournal++". Would it be possible to add directly a "open with" menu inside Zotero, in order to be able to open the file with the software of my choice quickly?

Thanks!

    Given that right-click → Show File exists, I don't think we're likely to add the ability to open files in multiple external readers. Doing so would require a whole UI for selecting/ordering multiple applications, and I don't think it's really worth duplicating something the file manager already provides.

    (Some could easily create a plugin that did this, though.)
