internal links to notes, annotations, note sections, and so on?
I would love if in Zotero notes and annotations, I could link directly to *other* notes and annotations.
For example, I make a note in one paper about some topic -- and then in another paper, I see something very closely related. I'd love to make an annotation note there, and in it link to the first annotation.
Or, have links to regular Zotero notes -- or even sections in a note.
I'd also like to have backlinks -- that is, for Zotero to maintain the overall link data structure so that you can right-click on some note or annotation and see what links to it.
Having this kind of thing would be very helpful. I could make a dense, rich set of notes around some area and make it easy to navigate my own collection and annotations and notes on various topics.
Extra bonus points for...
- having such links work from outside Zotero -- so I could make a link in some external document, say some markdown file, that would launch Zotero straight to the note or annotation.
- more generally, more robust support for links from outside Zotero to particular items. It seems like it ought to be easier to right-click on a book or paper or whatever in Zotero and get some kind of URL -- either `zotero://somethingsomething` or a web URL to that item -- that I can use in other documents.
- the other way: having some kind of link to external documents work in Zotero. Say I have a "research-notes.md" file -- I'd love to have Zotero support linking to (at the very least) that file; even better, to a line number or particular bit of text. Something not so unlike URLs that link to particular bit of text on a page, like:
https://www.zotero.org/support/quick_start_guide#:~:text=free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources
I suspect this all a pie-in-the-sky feature request, but if there's anything similar available now, I'd love to hear about it.

Upgrade Storage
(I think you can also create something -- or use soemthing already existing -- using the actions&tags plugin)
I also want links to arbitrary annotations -- a highlight, a note annotation in a PDF. But, a good start.
