Upgrade StorageFeature request: Automatic fill-in for new entry
Ok lets say Im doing my research and I come across a website that has a citation written in the text, lets say:
Jennings, C. (2000). The hundredth window: Protecting your privacy and security in the age of the Internet. New York: Free Press.
I should be able to highlight this text, right-click and have an option to automatically add a new reference in my library that fills in all the information into the right categories. This would be a killer feature!

Note that populating the fields of an item directly from a formatted bibliographic entry will often be problematic. For instance, an entry might not list all authors, or it might not include some fields like the DOI or the issue number which you could need if you used another output style. Using the information in a formatted bibliographic entry to look up the article online (which is possible with for instance the Simple Text Query tool provided by CrossRef) makes sure you obtain the bibliographic data in a more comprehensive and accurate manner.
