Update import from Zotero to append #389

Hi all, thanks for a fantastic plugin. I have been hunting a way to do this. Whenever I import a reference from Zotero it uses my template - fantastic. One of the things I would like to do is if I add or change an annotation, it updates without eradicating other notes - effectively overwriting the file I have been working off. I have section in nunjacks which starts and ends with %%begin notes %% and %% end notes %%. Is there a way to add a command to check for annotation changes and add in without overwriting?

Hi @eloisenewman, I use % persist % and filter annotations by date - similarly to the literature note template in this article: https://medium.com/@alexandraphelan/an-updated-academic-workflow-zotero-obsidian-cffef080addd. This adds new or updated annotations to the end of my note while leaving everything else as it is.
