Upgrade StorageAlternative to zotero:// protocol as direct http request (so it works in Google docs)
I'd like to link from a Google doc to an item in the Zotero client. This means I need to have a web link, that is recognised by Google Docs as a web link; and of course the link needs to be able to select the item in the Zotero client.
Zutilo offers to copy these two links:
zotero://select/items/7_MEBM3FIW - pasted into your browser, this opens the item in your library in the Zotero client. However, google docs doesn't recognise this as a link.
https://www.zotero.org/groups/2249382/items/MEBM3FIW - pasted into your browser, this opens the item in the web library. So while it's of course recognised as a link, it points to the web library, not the client.
Is it possible to rewrite "zotero://select/items/7_MEBM3FIW" as |http://127.0.0.1:23119/.../selectItems/.../MEBM3FIW" ? I looked at /connector/selectItems on https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/connector_http_server, but there's no example.
I think it would be really helpful to have this functionality within the Google Docs plugin: I.e. when you click in item to have two choices: (1) change the reference (currently implemented) and (2) reveal the item in Zotero. (Use case: I may not just want to cite the item, but access my notes on the item in writing the paper.)

Basically, my use case is that I am in Zotero already, and I'd like to insert a link that allows me to get back to Zotero. I suppose it would be nice if it was possible to copy create a link in Zotero that could be pasted as a reference recognised by the gdocs plugin. However, for me it would be fine just to have link like http://127.0.0.1:23119/.../selectItems/.../MEBM3FIW. Otherwise the workflow is awkward: I already have the article selected, but then need to search it via Google docs, and when I get back click several times. Of course, for one article it's fine, but I'm trying to build up a literature review, so it's just too complicated.
