Using Templates to Search Online Database and Retrieve PDF from Search

What I’m trying to do

I’m an incoming law student and am trying to create a database of my case briefs for supreme court opinions which also link to the pdf of the court’s opinion. It’s not hard to do this manually because I can just go to the Supreme Court’s website and search there for myself and then link that in my document. However, this process is somewhat time consuming and I know that there are some plugins that do this sort of thing (mainly thinking of the booksearch plugin which pulls a url image of the cover of the book you’ve searched and includes that in the metadata). Essentially what I’d like to do is be able to create a file with my “Court Case Notes” template, name that file the name of the Court Case and then have a link automatically generate within that file to the pdf opinion of the court from the Supreme Court’s website.

Things I have tried

I have tried doing this manually but am pretty new to coding and Obsidian as a whole and have not had much luck finding a way to automate this on my own.
