Upgrade StorageURL to Link to Zotero Record
On my local machine I'm thinking of creating a database of Zotero records' titles for My Library using an appropriate [JSON looks possible but maybe a there's a better method?] export. [This is part of a somewhat larger project.]
What would it take to simply click on the the title of a Zotero record's title on the local database to open the corresponding record on my Zotero account? The idea being that each of those local records would have the appropriate corresponding URL attached. Authentication would, of course, be required.
Am I asking a totally naive question? Maybe there's a simpler/better way of doing the same thing?
Thanks much, Bill Cole

Both are possible.
Local "Select item" links take the form:
zotero://select/library/items/TM4L7DH7
"Zotero URIs" for the web library take the form:
https://www.zotero.org/users/[...]/items/TM4L7DH7 (as you can tell, this is for the same item)
The Zutilo add-on allows you to easily generate both of these:

But you don't need me for examples. You can produce then yourself using Zutilo
