Is it possible to add fragments of a books/articles inside the book/article item?

I am a newbie in Zotero, so I do not know whether what I gonna say here will make sense:

When I read an article/book, I usually highlight some important sentences that I find useful. After a while, I need to guess which reference I saw that info. I was thinking if it is possible to make a sort of attachment of a book/article item in order to speed up the delving process.

For instance, I have the very nice sentence from the Book of Neural Networks and Machine Learning, Simon Haykin, 3th ed..

"The massively parallel nature of a neural network makes it potentially fast for the computation of certain tasks. This same feature makes a neural network well suited for implementation using very-large-scale-integrated (VLSI) technology."

I would love to have this fragment of the book within this book item on Zotero. If I could add a tag to this fragment, it would speed up even more my task of finding which reference says which info.

Any feedback is helpful!
  • That's what child notes are for. They also let you add a citation to the parent item and you can then insert the whole thing -- excerpt and citation -- into a document using the "Add Note" button.
