Upgrade StorageOpen pdf from command line
Hi,
I've been enjoying very much the new pdf viewer and note taker, and very impressed by all the work that goes into it!
I was wondering whether there might be some way of opening a pdf--or an item's attachments--from the command line, in a new tab.
I was imagining something like firefox's command:
firefox --new-tab /path/to/file
I understand if this is not possible, for the use cases are, I imagine, a little limited.
Cheers!

Using the zutilo plugin, you can find the item id of a pdf--"copy select item id".
Or you can look in the Zotero storage folder, the subdirectories of which are all labelled according to the itemid.
This can be used to generate a link to that item:
zotero://open-pdf/library/items/"ITEMID"
From the command line, this can be used to open the pdf.
I use "xdg-open + link" on Linux but I assume the particular command would be system-specific.
I also had to make sure my mime types were set up correctly so that xdg-open opened such links in zotero.
