Support for copying Zotero Select URL #46

sachit-menon commented 4 years ago

Hi, thanks for this great tool! One of my main use cases for Zotero is linking from other note-taking tools, especially from Markdown - like [citekey](zotero://select/{etc}). I was wondering what a convenient way to use Zothero to copy the Zotero select URL to the keyboard (or, even better, the full link style I wrote above) might look like. It would be ideal to set this as a 'citation style' of its own.

It seems like it might be pretty straightforward, since said URL is already used for the open-in-zotero action. By adding a 'Copy to Clipboard' action that copies {var:url} to one of the existing actions, I can get the URL copied, but this is hacky - I'm just not sure how to do it better.

Actually, I realized appending the Copy to Clipboard' to thecopy-citekey` action works well for me since it also gives me the citekey. But if you have any thoughts on how to do it better I'd still be happy to hear them.
