A Quick way to create Zotfile style links to PDFs in Zotero

Help
1

Hey All,

I’m trying to generate simple links between Zotero and Obsidian, I’ve seen the really cool post in the show case about Zotfile → mdnotes → obsidian, but I am trying to limit my workflow’s reliance on highlights, so I want something like the many links the Extracted Annotations of Zotfile (looks something like - zotero://open-pdf/library/items/JWNMSPTP), but in a way that doesn’t require extracting any annotations. Ideally I’d just Ctrl-V on something in Zotero, and paste into Obsidian a link. Any tips on doing this? Thanks a lot.

Edit: So after digging through the documentation for Better BibTeX, I found something close to what I’m interested in.

Specifically - Citation keys :: Better BibTeX for Zotero

In particular, using BetterBibTex’s Quick Copy/drag-and-drop citations to ‘Zotero select link’ and then ‘using Zotero item key’. The problem is I want the export to go from:

zotero://select/library/items/7D5RU544

to

[CiteKey](zotero://select/library/items/7D5RU544)

and though I code, I don’t know Javascript so I can’t use the ‘eta script’ option.
