[Share] Copy Zotero link #115

Firstly, thank you for your amazing plugins! Can someone implement copying the item link to show the item inside of a specific collection? Preferably automatically the one i selected the item from? I was able to construct the functioning select link using the collection-key found in the browser version, but every way i try to implement grabbing it into the script it gives the error "collection is not defined". Can someone more knowledgable help? I just recently moved to Zotero and it is still quite disorienting to see everything i ever saved at once when i click on an item link in obsidian. I can only really function inside of collections and smaller projects. |

What you're asking for is reasonable, but it does introduce a potential issue. If at some point you get rid of the collection, your link in Obsidian will be broken. This probably isn't a big deal, but it's worth being aware of. The following could replace the original script @windingwind has for this discussion. It includes an option |

The copy collection link is not working anymore for me. When I run the exact script as above, and use it from a right-click on a collection, I get the link to an item in the collection instead of the collection link. Is it a Zotero bug? |

I am having the same problem @mjtoraval reported Dec. 10. I also thought I recalled testing this successfully when the script was first written, so I'm not sure what's happened. When I right-click on a collection and choose this script, it creates a link to the first item in the collection, rather than to the collection itself. I use these links internally--to connect one item to a collection of items that relate or support it. |

-
|
@mjthoraval and @DonnaCoxBaker, if I understand correctly, you want a link to the collection--not an item in the collection, but the collection itself. If that's correct, I think this will fix the issue. That said, I wasn't able to reproduce the TypeError mentioned here. |

Of the collections you mentioned, the Zotero URI protocol handler only defines a way to handle items, collections, groups, and saved searches. So, some of them can work. I'll have some time later this week to see whether a work around is doable. |

So, bad news. I cannot figure out a workaround to get the groups and saved searches to work. The challenge is that there isn't a way to discern whether the script was triggered from the side menu (i.e., a link to the saved search or group). This can be done for collections, but |

I don't know why, but this isn't working for me anymore - in that it creates a link (eg zotero://open-pdf/library/items/CXTEB3BQ) but clicking just switches to Zotero (or opens it), but doesn't open a pdf or take me to an item. Is this a Zotero problem (I'm using version 7.0.0-beta.63+965149fe0)? |

@garth74: The results of the new script look consistent with the main script from my (limited) testing. Just a small problem: your script generates an error when copying the link to a snapshot: It seems that some of the zotero://open links are already working. Is it fine to move to the new links already, or is it still under development? |

Generally, I would suggest any modified version that changes how the script works (that is, not a bug fix) to be posted on a new discussion thread, to keep things clear. I don't have time to follow and try all the scripts posted in this and many other threads, so very possibly the script in the main post is not updated. It's the one that you can use, of course, but might not be the most tuned/powerful. You can @ the author if you think a modified version can replace the original one. |

I have a simplier version of this action. Unlike highlighting, when I quick-copy Zotero 7's underlined annotation, I can only obtain a link to the literature but not the annotation itself. Therefore, I have simplified this action to a version that extracts the link for any type of item in Zotero: Then, I can apply this action on any item (like a underlined annotation), extract its link, then copy its to other APPs so that I can seamlessly jump to that specific item from any other application. For efficient note-taking, I designed a Quicker action that utilizes the link stored in the clipboard to replace the link within a Zotero quick-copy style markdown format HERE. Free to use my solution if you like. |

Hi Garrett,
Thanks so much for your help with this. I’ve copied your code at line 115 (using the ‘Copy’ button in the thread) and pasted it into the Action in Zotero > Settings > Actions & Tags.
Still no luck unfortunately. When I try pasting (into TextEdit on my Mac), it’s returning the script text, presumably because the clipboard hasn’t been overwritten by any output from the Action.
This seems to be similar to the issue reported by mjthoraval on April 13.
Am I making a mistake in the way I’m supposed to use the Action?
FYI I’m using Zotero 7.0.2 and Actions & Tags 2.0.0 (22 August 2024) on Mac Sonoma 14.6.1.
Thanks again for all your help!

I think you might need to rebuild/reinstall the plugin. |

I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't selected anything in the 'Operation' drop-down in the Actions & Tags settings pane. Now it works 😳 Thanks so much for your help! Really appreciated. |

Hello, I am using the 115 refactored version, The normal format is as follows: I used AI to modify the code, but there was no actual effect. The following is a little information I collected `` ` For EPUB, it is best to use CFI ( annotation.position.value). For snapshots, we should use JSON.stringify(annotation.position).Large noise but essential -Pagelabel for EPUB, it is usually empty (and can be changed), and for snapshots, it is always empty. `` ` Can you update the code to meet the needs of replication? |

Hello，I'm using the 115 version script。When I copy the link from zotero, the anchor text is always "@"，just as shown below： Could the anchor text be the selected item's title or the selected annotation text? |

Hello - if this is off topic please let me know. Everything is working fine for me with the plugin. The features I really want are a) when a link is greated, have an additional context menu item that formats the link in text only, so it can be pasted in to a rtf document. b) when the zotero://open-pdf/library/items/9EAWYJY8?page=2&annotation=12345 link is clicked in another application, it actually selects the annotation 12345 as opposed to merely to navigating to it, and lastly c) similarly with web pages - the format is - zotero://open-pdf/library/items/9EAWYJY8?page=NaN&annotation=67890 and the action merely seems to open the web page capture where it was last opened. Maybe there is a way of the plugin having a way of doing as per b) above without having to change Zotero itself ? |

a) I don't understand what you want. It sounds like you just want to be able to paste the link in an RTF. If so, change the |
