[Feature Idea] Add support for extracting link for the cloud location of the file #663

I set up ZotFile to work with Google Drive and things sync fine from there. But I am wondering if it would be possible to embed the google drive link of the PDF as a URL property or in notes of the reference entry. I have Google Drive for Desktop which provides an option to copy link to clipboard in file context menu so I hope some API should also exist. The intended worflow is I have Notero set up which syncs good amount of metadata. But since Notion does not allow uploading files, uploading at least a Google Drive link would give a quick redirect from Notion. I also prefer to use Kami (added to GSuite) for annotation which would be smooth with this flow. GDrive also does not support relative paths in URLs, else a simple Notion formula to convert the windows path to an URL would have worked.
