Automatically retrieve metadata when attachment is added?

This thread [1] almost mentioned it in passing, but it's focused on a issue much bigger than my question:

Is there an extension that would invoke the "Retrieve Metadata for PDF" action automatically whenever I add a file (e.g. via Store Copy of File..., or via my plugin for nautilus-sendto [2]).

ZotFile doesn't seem to have this feature. If no extension exists, does the hook exist so that I can write one (sorry for asking instead of reading the code)?

    don't know about the hook, but no, such an extension does not currently exist.

    edit: code-related questions are generally better at zotero-dev:
