Two Zotero translators are included:

Markdown.Item.URI.Obsidian.Dataview.js translator allows to quick-copy Zotero metatada important to historians (authors, editors, [letter] recipients, title, publication, date, archive, archive-location, citekey) as YAML fields to an Obsidian markdown note. You would use the Dataview plugin to search this metadata.

Markdown.Item.URI.Citation.js allows to quick-copy Zotero reference with a URI that links from Obsidian note back to a Zotero item.
