Support for live BibTeX file

[StarlightScribe]

Description

Overleaf allows you to import a remotely hosted BibTeX file, such as from Paperpile. This keeps the bibliography automatically updated as you add references.

Use Case

This is very important for my workflow, as academic work involves research and writing at the same time. Having to download and upload a new bib file everytime I add a paper to my library simply isn't practical for something like a literature review.

Same as what I just described here: https://github.com/typst/webapp-issues/issues/4#issuecomment-1806866488

I also see this as a major problem in my workflow right now.

Alternatively (or additionally), the File System API could be used to automatically reload a bib file from the local device.

This would be a good first step, but ideally as a web app it would be able to pull a remote bib file.

This is implemented for Zotero and Mendeley and available in Typst Pro.

To be clear, Paperpile support isn't in the plans?
