Make the external PDF viewer configurable instead of relying on OS default
I'd like to be able to open my science PDFs in Utopia but I'd like to use Preview as my OS default.

I use Foxit to read and highlight research papers because of the annotation features. For all other PDFs, I use Okular because of the faster startup time.
I want to open pdf files with program A unless I'm double-clicking an item in the Zotero application, in which case I want to open it with some other program B.
I changed my OS settings so the default program for opening pdf files is the shell script shown below. I keep my Zotero files in the folder "zotero-data" and use playonlinux to launch Foxit Reader for my Zotero pdf files because Foxit has nice highlighting and annotation features.
So: _please_ add this feature; as a suggestion to the Preferences menu!
