Feature request: from annotation to note

seredes · February 20, 2023

Right now, when working on a note, you can see the original location of an annotation - see https://imgur.com/a/So2iwPe (1)
I think it would be cool to be able to right-click on an annotation and see all of the notes in which the annotation is used (2)
Basically, use the link, but in the other direction.

I have just realized one can do an advanced search among the notes:

Actually I have found an amazing add-on called zotero-better-notes:

It does exactly that very elegantly: https://imgur.com/a/InBtMCK

Hi, I just came across this thread looking for a similar feature. How do you find the better-notes plugin?

seredes · March 10, 2023

I think it's a great plugin! It allows you to set up advanced workflows in Zotero; for example, a workflow similar to what one can do in Citavi, or to the Discourse Graph in Roam Research. But with the convenience of Zotero.

Cool! Thanks for the reply!
