    It would be great to have an option, addon or program able to find on the Internet the full and proper data for a bibliography list copied from a text, such as a word, in any format.

    @juanpide Please further explain your "full and proper data for a bibliography" request. There may already be such an option if you want what I think you are requesting. Are you asking for a utility that can interpret a doc- text- or pdf-format bibliography and convert it to metadata available to be imported into Zotero or other bib-managers? Such software already exists. However, I find that the utilities do not perform well with many of the things I've given them. So much editing is necessary that a fast typist could do the task more (maybe, much more) quickly and accurately.

    Someone can name the software options if that is your request.

    @DWL-SDCA I've been searching and found online tools such as https://anystyle.io/
    I haven't tried it but I think it would be great to have that kind of functionality in Zotero.
