Get links to a Zotero item or PDF

You can use Zutilo to get a link to the Zotero item or a PDF. You want to enable Copy select item links in Zutilo’s settings so that it shows up in the context menu or as a shortcut.

You’d still need to change the action to open-pdf and add the ?page=9 but maybe that helps those who don’t know how to get the item ID or don’t want to buy pdf X-change editor plus. Zutilo probably supports only copying the item ID as well (have to check the settings).
