The recently Zettlr 2.0, is a very efficient markdown writing tool for academic texts. With BetterBibtex plugin in Zotero, Zettlr can create nice "live citations" in Zettlr by using an exported CSL. The problem I need a solution for, is how to export docx files from Zotero which will retain live citations in Word - The regular pandoc-based export to docx in Zettlr unfortunately creates 'static' citations and bibliographies, which means that any later edits needs to be always done in Zettr, not in the exported Word-file.

Per this: https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/pandoc/ (by @emilianoeheyns) it is these two pandoc parameters which is needed :

--lua-filter=zotero.lua --metadata=zotero_scannable_cite:true

I can make this work nicely by calling pandoc via the terminal. Highly frustrating, I just can't figure out how to make it work in Zettlr.

Any ideas?

PS: I have included the assets file code, where the above parameters are supposed to be placed.
