The ZotFile plugin can theoretically do this, but from other recent reports I believe that may not be working right now.

The PDFs on your desktop, do they show-up as "link to file" versus "stored copy of file" for those in the storage folder? You could try Zotfile to fix this.

I use `zotfile` to rename my attachments and extract annotations. When `zotfile` extracts the annotations it creates a note with hyperlinks to the document (e.g., zotero://open-pdf/library/items/2WVHW

When I try to rename/move a parent item with 2 attachments (the PDF article and a supplemental doc), Zotfile only moves the first attachment and then shows a red X next to the second attachment in the
