[New Plugin] Annotation Links — Clickable cross-reference links between PDF annotations

mwbench
Hi Forum,

I built a plugin that adds clickable cross-reference links between PDF annotations in Zotero.
GitHub: https://github.com/mobench/zotero-annotation-links

This has been a long-requested feature in the community, and I wanted to share it.

What it does:
- Right-click any annotation (or press Ctrl+Shift+C) to copy a zotero:// deep link
- Paste the link into another annotation's comment — a clickable link icon appears in the header
- Click the icon to navigate directly to the target annotation, which gets highlighted automatically
- Works within the same PDF, across different PDFs, and even from external apps (Obsidian, browsers)
- Cross-document links show an external link icon with the source document title on hover

Install: Download the .xpi from the https://github.com/mobench/zotero-annotation-links/releases/latest and install via Tools > Add-ons.

Requires Zotero 7+. Feedback and bug reports welcome!

    Thank you for this plugin. I have just installed it, and works fine on 9.0-beta.

    I'm leaving you a note on GitHub... Thanks!

    Thank you for your efforts. I was able to copy successfully ， but when I paste the link into another annotation's comment, "a clickable link icon" did not appear. But when I copy into the entry note, it work.
