Add support to Ink (or handwritten) Annotations #387

First of all, thanks a lot for this outstanding extension!

With the recent update to Zotero 7, I've developed a liking for Ink annotations. However, I've encountered a challenge: I'm unable to export these Ink annotations into my Obsidian notes. While area selections export seamlessly, I expected handwritten annotations (or Ink annotations) to function similarly.

Here’s an example to illustrate the issue. As shown in the image, Zotero appears to successfully render both area selections and handwritten annotations in the left panel.

When exporting to Obsidian, I’d like to capture the preview image of the Ink annotation displayed in Zotero’s left panel. Unfortunately, upon examining the Dataview, it seems that Ink annotations possess fewer attributes—especially those related to the preview. Below is a comparison of the Dataview for these two annotations:

As you can see, there's no field for a preview of the Ink annotation, unlike with the "Area selection" annotation. This absence means I'm unable to export the Ink annotation into my Obsidian note template.

This limitation might stem from an issue with BetterBibTeX or an option I'm unaware of. Adding this capability would be a significant enhancement to my workflow, as it would allow me to use Ink annotations in my current workflow.
