    Not sure if this was implied as a planned feature in the original post, but simply marking text that includes a reference in a note, copying it, and pasting it into Word with the reference as an active Zotero citations that I can generate a bibliography from (as if inserted by the ‘add note’ feature) - that would be much appreciated. Love all the new updates, thank you so much!!

    (Please start new threads for new issues — the thread you posted to was about Markdown export. I've moved this to a new thread.)

    There's a button in the note editor toolbar to insert citations into notes, which will pop up the standard citation dialog. You can then use Add Note in your word processor to insert the notes with active citations.

    The question as I understand it is if copy&paste from a note could be made to behave like "add note" in the word processor add-on, and I don't think that's technically feasible

    Right, it's not technically possible. It just wasn't clear to me whether @Axbax was aware you could insert a citation in a note separate from the one generated automatically along with an annotation.
