Creating a collection from references added to a manuscript with Zotero?

Hello,

I would like to export only those references from Zotero that I added to a manuscript by using Zotero. They are spread across different collections. Of course, I could just manually select all these references and copy them to a new collection. From there, I could just export the references in this collection. However, this procedure is a bit tedious.
Is there any easier way to create a Zotero collection with references only that are contained within a manuscript to which the references were added by using Zotero?

Currently, you can use Reference Extractor to select the items in Zotero and add them to a collection. There will be a built-in way to do this in the future.

Thanks for pointing me to this online tool!
And I am looking forward to the built-in function to do this in a future version of Zotero. Keep up the great work!
