Shortcut to editing entries in Zotero?
I am a very heavy Zotero user with thousands of bibliographic entries. It is a fantastic piece of software, but I have one question. When cross checking my citations in Word is there anyway to click on an entry in Word, and be able to have that entry brought up in zotero automatically? That way I can access attached PDFs very quickly to cross check my information derived from that source as well as double check the accuracy of my bibliographic information.
In other words, I'm double checking the accuracy of my entries, and I find that I constantly need to manually run searches for my bibliographic in zotero to find attached PDFs, when it would be far easier if I could just click on a specific citation in Word and have Zotero call up the entry automatically so that I can view attached PDFs, cross check information, etc.
Thoughts?

Note that the button will only appear if the item exists in Zotero. In some cases (e.g., if you deleted the item) it can exist only in the document.
Now that Zotero has its own tab in the Word ribbon, it probably makes sense to just add a button to focus the selected item in Zotero.
Or we could pop up a custom alert with a drop-down and close it after, but I'm not sure that's necessary. (And I suspect we couldn't show a dynamic drop-down right in the ribbon, though @adomasven would know better.)
