Upgrade StorageGenerate collection from citations in a Word document?
I have written a paper that cites articles from several of my different Zotero collections. I used Microsoft Word with the Zotero plugin.
I would like to have all of these items together as a single collection in Zotero (they're already all in Zotero, but they're scattered across several collections). Is there some way I can go back to the standalone Zotero program and tell it "make a collection consisting of all items cited in this Word document"?
I realize that a straightforward way to do this probably doesn't exist as a feature, since the Zotero plugin for Word is intended to be a one-way thing just for citing. But I am open to creative work-arounds for doing this, if anyone can think of any!

1) If there aren't too many citations, you could manually make a collection by opening the Zotero dialog for each citation, clicking on the reference, clicking "Show in My Library", then dragging the item to a collection.
2) If that is too much work, you can install the Juris-M program (http://juris-m.github.io), a Zotero-variant that has this feature implemented using special Document Tags. You could use Juris-M to make a collection, sync, then switch back to using regular Zotero if you like.
