FR: Auto-update notes upon Zotero annotations change #216

Open ryanwwest opened 1 year ago

ryanwwest commented 1 year ago

My workflow involves reading and annotating PDFs in Zotero, then using the import specific template action in Obsidian to generate a paired source note to that PDF and pull in the annotations. I'll often then reread and make additional annotations in Zotero several more times depending on the PDF. I wish I didn't have to rerun the command in Obsidian every time to fetch the new/modified annotations, and frequently forget, resulting in a mismatch between Zotero's annotation database and my notes.

Is there some way to hook into Zotero, so that after finishing a session of annotations there, or after every X minutes, the command automatically gets run to update the note? Of course this would require both programs to be running, which I don't think is an issue.

In my way， I added the date info after the note

@Zarhin , I'm sure, but did you mean that you're implemmenting the tool? I have the same need of @ryanwwest and would very much to know if this is possible.

Thanks for the awesome plugin BTW. I'd also love this feature and some way to import from an entire Zotero library or collection without having to do them individually

Any updates on this? Would also love to see automatic updating!
