Automaticaly add webpage to archive.org

Zotero is capable of doing a snapshot when you save a webpage. The problem with those snapshots is they can be quite heavy and not 100% reliable. Also, most of the time, the website is still up so doing this snapshot is useless.

Worst, snapshots are useless for the reader.

It would be cool to be sure that any page you save as a reference will be accessible in the following years.

I think the best would be to use https://archive.org to save the page, and keep the archive.org link in the Zotero reference. I'm thinking that it's even better to cite with the original link and the archive.org link (a bit like what Wikipedia does now).

That would also be cool for achive.org as it will provide some "curated" content to archive.

It can definitely be done in a plugin, but I think it would be a great addition to Zotero core.

To save a page on archive.org you simply have to visit https://web.archive.org/save/URL
