Copy a citation of a paper will not add page and reference

Situation:
- I mark some text in a paper (e.g. on page 386 of the paper cited as Engel, 2021).
- I select the marked text (on the left bar, where all the marked texts appears).
- I press Command+C (on my Mac)
- I paste it to any other program (e.g. as a comment in my latex editor)

Expectation:
- The marked text is pasted and something like (page 386, Engel, 2021) or something like that

Action:
- Only the marked text is pasted (copied). The reference is missing.

In the previous Zotero 7 version, there were some additional meta data, which help the find the reference in zotero.
This reference is missing.

From one of my old documents

Expectation:

% „The idea of mechanized thinking goes back at least to the 17th century with the Characteristica Universalis of Leibnitz and extends through the work of La Mettrie to the writings of Hobbes, Pascal, Boole, Babbage and others.“ ([French, 2000, p. 116](zotero://select/library/items/ENSJEA8C)) ([pdf](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/7XFGQDI6?page=2&annotation=ZMFPUTBA))

but actual:

% „The idea of mechanized thinking goes back at least to the 17th century with the Characteristica Universalis of Leibnitz and extends through the work of La Mettrie to the writings of Hobbes, Pascal, Boole, Babbage and others.“

The part

    Are you pasting into a rich text input? Because "htmlOptions":{"includeAppLinks":false}} means links are disabled for HTML output. You need to go to Settings -> Export -> Note Format and enable Zotero links for HTML.
