integration with bibtex #155

Open rhaynes74 opened 2 years ago

rhaynes74 commented 2 years ago

Thanks for your attention to my past issues/suggestions. I am wondering if there is an ability for some bibtex integration. I am not suggesting nb become a full fledged reference manager, but ....

Here is the workflow. I have a reference library consisting of 3500 pdfs/documents most either books/research articles. Associated with this library is a bibtex library. The bibtex entry has a "citekey", a unique identifier and also has a "file = " line which contains the location (on the local disk) of the pdf.

It would be great to be able to add a paper to a notebook by citekey and have pdfs associated with the citekey.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, R Haynes

@rhaynes74 Sounds interesting. I actually have a notebook with a collection of bibtex files, though without citekeys. I'd have to learn more in order to understand the workflow. Sounds like something that might be possible to implement as a plugin somehow.
