Help finding a plugin for importing references from in-text citations

Hi everyone,
I used to have a plugin that allowed me to import citations directly from within the text. For example, when I clicked on a citation like “Becker, 1975” in a sentence, it would display the full reference and give me the option to import it into Zotero. Does anyone know which plugin this might be?

Many thanks in advance!
  • Might have been the Reference plugin ?

    It possibly had some interaction with Zotero v7's reference popup hover window, like what you describe. There is a setting in the plugin's settings that refers to that, but it may not be working in the latest version ...

    (Chrome does a decent job of translating the Chinese text at github.)

    The Reference plugin adds a right pane tab that lists a PDF's references, showing you which you already have (relies on DOI search). So you should see that in the right panel (whether or not you hover over the in-text citation and see Zotero's popup); clicking on a reference in that list will show you the cited paper's information. It can also take you to that paper in your library if you have it, or to the URL of the paper if you don't. It can also list papers that have cited the current PDF paper. It relies on online databases (Symantic Scholar, Open Alex, Research Rabbit), so a paper's cited references and cited-by references have to be listed there (sometimes one database may work better than others).

    (The documentation has not been updated for Zotero v7, but you learn how it works mostly by using it.)
