Workaround for linked files with the iOS app
Thanks for making the iOS app, it is great!
I understand from https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/88302/feature-request-ios-zotero-beta-workflow-for-pdfs-on-cloud-storage-and-linked-via-zotfile that linked files won't be supported any soon/at all, but I wonder if it is possible to get the item uri from the app?
I have a workflow to get the attachment path via the web api with a given item uri quick copied from the desktop zotero, and then open the pdf on iPad using the shortcuts app, as the relative path on iCloud is consistent (I suppose this is true for other cloud servers too). It would be brilliant if I can get the item uri, or even better the attachment path, directly from the iOS app, everything else can be handled by shortcuts. I am imagining the perfect way would be a share button to export such info directly to shortcuts, but a copiable field would definitely suffice.

airallergyOk, I found that you have been working on the quick copy function for the app https://github.com/zotero/zotero-ios/issues/287, which is great. As long as the manual installation of translators is allowed, this should work with the uri translator https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zotero-ODF-Scan/zotero-odf-scan/master/attic/Item URI.js.
