There is currently no really clean way to do this. There are plans for more hierarchical item relationships which could resolve this, but for the time being you will need to manually edit this reference in your project.

@ Tjowens: But isn't this particular usage not a matter of the item relationships (hierarchical or otherwise) in the data---since the items are only incidentally related by a passing reference of one in another---but a matter which would be addressed by the WP macros (and unfortunately possibly the styles) themselves? Just because X cites Y, and I want to cite X's version of Y's quote or idea, doesn't really mean I want to mark that relation in my database permanently, at least not in a way that would invoke the reference automatically in other contexts.

@emcl: once you do figure out how this kind of subsequent citation should look in your citation style, you can try clicking the 'edit citation' button in the Word/OOo macro. Even if it's not automatic, you should be able to get it to look right.

Just for the record, this is my first post here, English is not my mother tongue, and I was trying to figure out a way to do what emma asked, few years ago. I'll see, if there was not any solution till now so far, if I can add something here.

I wanted to do the same as the OP, but with Chicago. Im using the last version of Zotero. Through trial and error, I achieved to make it work, with this style.

I first inserted a new citation, there I choosed the author whom has the citation i needed from another author, then I wrote on the prefixe space and wrote something like "as citated in" (pointing out the page number on the page space option). It worked just fine so far.

I hope it helps,
