Import a word file with references (pandoc, zotero)

What I’m trying to do

I try to import a Word document (.docx) that comes with references from Zotero that I want to use in Obsidian.

Things I have tried

I tried multiple pandoc comments,

pandoc -s --extract-media=./ -f docx+citations DOC.docx -o DOC.md
pandoc -s --extract-media=./ -f docx+citations DOC.docx \
  --bibliography=Library.bib -t markdown -o DOC.md
pandoc -s --extract-media=./ -f docx+citations DOC.docx --wrap=none -C --bibliography=Library.bib -o DOC.md

As they all include references/bibliographic information on top

pandoc --extract-media=./ -f docx+citations DOC.docx --wrap=none -C --bibliography=Library.bib -t markdown -o DOC.md

While the last code doesn’t include these, they are now all gone (just text).

In sum, I didn’t find any way that keeps the citation keys (usually replaced with numbers) so that my Obsidian plugin citations (obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-citation-plugin) and Pandoc Reference List (obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-pandoc-reference-list) can work with it.

Have you tried docxer plugin?

Yes, I did, thanks, forgot to mention. Sadly, it also didn’t give me references as in [@authorkey2000] but just made them text!
