Looking for a plugin that links papers with their references
I am looking for a plugin that shows me when one paper in my library references another paper in my library. I think there are a couple ones that offer similar features, but nothing quite like it. I think it would make the experience more self-contained and would also help to see how well you have covered a given area

(Chrome's right-click Translate to English does a good job with translating the instructions)
When you open a PDF in the viewer, you have a right-pane References tab. It can display the paper's references either directly extracted/parsed from the paper's text (not always 100% perfect, but you can edit) or via 'API' - the Crossref online database (reliant on publishers having deposited that data there - most likely for papers from recent years). Once you have that list, the plugin then scans your library for matching references (good but not always perfect) - matches are highlighted. When you hover over a highlighted reference, a floating popup window shows a 'Zotero' link which will take you to that reference in your library. For non-highlighted references, if a DOI is found then you get a link in the popup that takes you to the URL in your browser, where you can add the reference via the Zotero connector. You can also click the '+' icon to add the reference under Related.
