Extracted annotations: Make an exported file linked to Zotero item

This discussion was created from comments split from: Zotero 5.0.97-beta - Other PDF readers don't show comments made on Zotero PDF reader.
  • @dstillman I still rely on some customization that Zotfile offer for extracting annotation; Could be possible to make optionally an exported file linked to Zotero item? (even through advanced config editor)

    If you're referring to notes with extracted annotations, see my comments here. The extraction part itself isn't relevant.

    I apologize, It was not clear from my comment what I meant

    I would like to have an ability to have added link to exported PDF (as linked file)
    It could be non-defult behaviour, enabled through editing string in advance setting

    This would be a temporary hack only before the plugin ecosystem around beta grown up;

    I would link to use Zotfile to Extract my annotations without overwriting the file in the database or adding another entry for the same item; I have custom settings with Zotfile that allowing me for creating personalized markdown note; even if it is possible to export note in the new beta to markdown it is not possible to recreate the same outcome as with annotation extracted through Zotfile yet;

    May request may be ignored if this involve much work, it will be probably superseded through developments around note extraction
