Save link as attachment?

shell
I often find myself saving journal article references by clicking the icon in the address bar, and then subsequently attaching images and pdfs to it in a two step process: first using the "Save Link As Zotero Snapshot" and then drag-and-dropping the snapshot in the Zotero window to the recently-saved article reference.

I was thinking that it might be helpful, in addition to the "Save Link As Zotero Snapshot" right-click option in the browser, to also have a "Save Link as Zotero Attachment", which would automatically save the snapshot and attach it to the last-saved entry. Don't know the feasibility of this, but it seems like it would be broadly useful.

    Oh yes please!

    I could use this dozens of times today alone.

    This is not precisely the same thing, but might even be more useful, since you can get that PDF attached to *any* top-level entry visible in the Zotero pane, not just the last one. Just drag the link and drop it. I didn't know this worked until I was about to echo your feature request. I sort my Zotero entries by entry date most of the time, so that the last ones are always visible.

    Oh, that is pretty helpful, actually. The only downside is that it can introduce a lot dragging around, which can get cumbersome if you're doing that frequently.
