Link from LaTeX citation to single annotation in Zotero item

edited August 19, 2022
Some context: I use Zotero for collecting references to use in writing a LaTeX document. I automatically keep my .bib file up to date with Better BibTeX.

My workflow is to add literature to Zotero and read and annotate sections of interest with the built-in Zotero PDF reader. Then I reference items using \cite{citation-key} in LaTeX.

My problem is that from time to time, I want to go back to the exact annotation I made in the literature that I'm referring to with the \cite in the LaTeX document. However, I'm too lazy to search for the annotation in the cited literature item by hand (or to put it differently: it feels like that shouldn't be a chore in this day and age).

Is there a way to reference a literature item in a less coarse way? Ideally, I would like to do something like \cite{citation-key} % zotero://annotation-id where I can click the URI and the Zotero PDF reader opens in the right spot. To be clear, I only want this fine-grained citation for myself as the document editor; in the PDF built by LaTeX it should only show the coarse citation.
