Aria doesn't seem to give OpenAI access to the PDFs (full text) attached to items in Zotero 7 #144

Hi there, It's come to my attention when I am using Aria to question a particular paper, it's only giving OpenAI access to the abstract in a parent item, but not to the "Full Text" PDF that's attached to the item.

Is there some special way to have it allow OpenAI to access the PDF? Without that, I get responses like this (bold emphasis mine):

The abstract of the paper "Thirty years of fluoridation: a review" does not mention the consideration of the impact of topical fluoride application through toothpaste. The focus is on the benefits of water fluoridation in reducing dental caries and its role in public health. Without access to the full text, it is unclear if the impact of topical fluoride application is discussed elsewhere in the paper.

Hi @inspiredearth, I initially implemented the fulltext feature based on local vector database. However it had serious performance issues and had to be removed. I am working on bringing it back through the OpenAI File Search feature now.

This would be amazing! Without this feature the tool is currently unfortunately mostly useless to me, as I'm also fast in scanning through the abstracts myself. However I would love to have deeper discussions with the content of specific papers and ebooks.
