Upgrade StorageZotero Citation Picker: paste citation key into LaTeX as "\cite{citation key here}"
I admit: I am confused.
I've got Zotero working on my Linux platform;
I have the FireFox extension installed;
I've got the BibLaTeX extension installed, and I have created a *.bib exported library for LaTeX to pull from.
I've also installed the ODT/RTF extensions in Zotero.
While using TexStudio, I can use my hotkeys Alt+Z to pull up the Zotero Citation picker, and I can find the reference in my Zotero library (so far, so good!)
When I have chosen the reference and hit ENTER, it pastes the reference into TexStudio as:
\cite{|author,date|||zu:0::nLnLnnLL}
where n is a number and L is an uppercase letter.
This is really slick, but LaTeX (i.e, the biber package) cannot interpret the string {|author,date|||zu:0::nLnLnnLL} and use it to generate the correct in-line citation (and bibliography/ Reference list) from the *.bib library that I have supplied.
Either:
i) I am missing something in my Zotero setup (and so it generates the wrong output string); or,
ii) a way to insert the citation key directly from the Citation Picker DOESN'T exist (which seems like a serious deficiency!).
Comments? Guidance?

You somehow have the ODF Scan code in the citekey -- no idea why, but the only reason you'd get the citation picker would be if you had it set up with BBT (in which case see the link above) or if TexStudio has custom integration (in which case, that'd be where to look).
So now that I look at Zotpicknix and the "scannable_cite" script in more detail (by which I mean, the scannable_cite files "Scannable Cite.js", "Scannable Cite.mako" and "scannablecite.py") it appears that it just might be possible to use the Zotero / Biblatex citation key instead of the ODF scan-code. That would be FANTASTIC! The script refers to (a file?) Zotero.getHiddenPref. Is anybody familiar with that?
and just replace l. 9. in the code of the zotpicknix-pd script, which is currently
CAYW_URL="http://localhost:23119/better-bibtex/cayw?format=pandoc" # Edit the URL as needed for a different citation marker format.with
CAYW_URL="http://localhost:23119/better-bibtex/cayw?format=biblatex" # Edit the URL as needed for a different citation marker format.And then follow the instructions in zotpicknix to use that script.
