Installation

Install zotero-bridge and this plugin from Obsidian Community Plugins settings screen.

Usage

When this plugin installed it adds new command to the Command Palette: Zotero Link: Insert. You can add a keyboard shortcut for this command in Obsidian settings.

Exact text of the link can be changed with template configuration in plugin settings.

Following keywords are acceptable in the template:

• {{ key }} – Zotero item key
• {{ title }} – item title
• {{ date.year }} – publication year e.g. 2011
• {{ date.month }} – publication month e.g. 10
• {{ date.day }} – publication day e.g. 31
• {{ firstAuthor.fullName }} – first author's full name
• {{ firstAuthor.firstName }} – first author's first name
• {{ firstAuthor.lastName }} – first author's last name
• {% for author in authors %}{{ author.lastName}}, {{ author.firstName | first }}., {% endfor %} – advanced use of template to output all authors

Template language is based on Nunjucks, so its syntax and built-in filters are also available.

There is also a good video review and demonstration of the plugin, made by Curtis McHale.
