View corresponding reference

MCLago
Hello everyone.
I'm probably about to ask something very silly, but I really couldn't find the answer by myself: while working in a document with a numbered style bibliography is there an easy way to see the citation corresponding to each number? I know that with endnote, you can select a feature where you only have to pass the mouse cursor over a number and it will tell for which reference it stands for, but I have no idea how to do this with zotero besides selecting "edit reference". Problem is, when you have more than 150 reference in a doc, zotero is kind of slow so it takes me a lot of time doing it this way.
Thanks in advance

    It's not a very pretty method, but you can press Alt-F9 to show the Zotero codes behind each citation (then type again to hide). You could also switch to an author date style for the editing stage and then switch to numeric at the end (using a style that doesn't have position-based formatting rules, like Annual Reviews author-date, would also speed up Zotero with 150+ references. Finally, you could open a new window in Word (from the View tab) and show the bibliography side by side with your document text.

    Hum I see. I think I'll just use a different bibliography style while writing and hope that everything will be ok when I'll merge all the chapters and change for a numbered one :)
    Thank you very much for your help
    Best regards
