In-text/Inline citation

How can I use the "Cell" style for the references - In-text citation format ("Name, year") with an option to cite a URL- Title + link.

It should look like this: MOLGEN Molecule Graph Generator, https://www.molgen.de/

I get the error: [CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.]

    I don't think that'd be a citation in Cell, would it? E.g., it wouldn't go in the reference list either, right?

    Mine is a generic question, since someone commented about, "Cell" style for the references - In-text citation format ("Name, year"), I asked if there was an option to cite a URL- Title + link.

    Is there any other 'style' in Zotero, that would accomplish that outcome.

    There are thousands of different citation styles, some of which have the (Author, date) format, some of which use numbers like Cell, some of which use footnotes or endnotes. What is your specific question? Cell doesn't really use (Author, date) citations. It uses numeric references to the bibliography list at the end.

    Cell does use author-date.

    I think the question is about "website title, url" as a form for in-text citations of webpages. I'm not aware of any style that does this, no, although it is technically possible (and not very hard to do in a style - just highly unusual to include the URL, since it can be quite long).
