Citation by PMID in word
Dear all, I'm new to Zotero (previously I was using Endnote) and I would be greatful if you could help me with my problem. When I write a manuscript I usually put PMID in the manuscript directly during writing that I don't forget which paper I was referring to (for example: In 25-30% der Fälle können diese Nebenwirkungen schwerwiegend verlaufen und bedürfen einer umgehenden Therapie (31092901)). When I was done with writing I was using these PMIDs to insert the citations from the library. However, in Zotero I can not search for the reference by PMID in my reference library, but only by author, year etc. Of course, when I have significant amount of references in the manuscript I don't remember the author and year. Is there a way to find the reference in my library only by PMID, or do I need to look through the whole information of the paper, search for author and only then insert it? It was possible in Endnote, but in Zotero I could not understand how I can do that.
Thank you for your help!

I had the same need, I think having PMIDs in a word doc works well in a draft.
I found the way to do it : there is another display than the default horizontal bar, a GUI with more options, and the research bar accepts PMIDS. You can also use this display by default, the option is a little bit hidden, in the "cite" tab of the option.
It is likely too late for you but maybe it can help someone in the future.
