Zotero PDF reader and extracted annotations format
I love the new in-built PDF reader! To fit with the rest of my writing workflow, I want the extracted annotations in a different format, with the highlighted text nested under the comment as a bullet. Is it possible to change? If so, how?
I'm also using the tag feature for the annotations, hoping that it'll be of use soon, as indicated in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/88653/pdf-reader-tagging-annotations-and-notes/p1 and https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/88737/zotero-pdf-reader-and-new-note-editor-use-of-separate-tags-in-annotations
Current default format:
"[highlighted text]" [Zotero citation link, displayed as (Author, date, p. #)] [comment for the highlighted text]
Desired format:
[comment for the highlighted text]
- "[highlighted text]" [Zotero citation link, displayed as (Author, date, p. #)]
Optional:
[comment for the highlighted text] #tag1 #tag2
- "[highlighted text]" [Zotero citation link, displayed as (Author, date, p. #)]
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help/ clarify. I don't know any programming language to write a script in. Thanks!

seeingtheforestI'd also love to be able to format the extracted annotations. Some sort of settings template that we could customize with placeholders for various fields would be perfect.
