[Feature]: Support Quick-Copy/Drag-and-Drop for Annotations

[FieteO]

Debug log ID

HL9V2ZBK-refs-euc

What happened?

Basically what I'd like to achieve is dragging and dropping notes from Zotero to VSCode to insert a citation that is also containing the page number.

What is working fine for me, is dragging and dropping the whole library entry to insert a citation key as defined in Edit -> Preferences -> Better BibTex -> Export -> Quick-Copy. In my case, this will yield \footcite[\vglf][\pagef]{russell2020} since that's the command that I have defined for the LaTeX citation Quick-Copy format.
What I'd like to do though, is mark something in a pdf, do an Add notes from Annotations and then drag and drop a single annotation into my text editor to get \footcite[\vglf][\pagef1]{russell2020} (note the page number here).

Expected:

\footcite[\vglf][\pagef1]{russell2020}

What I got:

“Introduction� ([Russell and Norvig, 2020, p. 1](zotero://select/library/items/CCC6AHWQ)) ([pdf](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/EYZYFJB9?page=29&annotation=DTQM433Y))

In the 2nd item of HL9V2ZBK-refs-euc, would the correct page number be 1423, or 1450?

Well, that's a bit of a question of definition. Zotero supports manually adjusting page numbers of annotations, such that it matches the number that is printed/visible on the page you are citing. I think I did that here and accordingly the 1423 is the page number that I wanted in the citation (even though it may be the 1450's page of the pdf in absolute terms).

You will get that, when using the Edit Page Number... dialogue and then use the This page and later pages option:

Ah, got it. OK.

As my university stopped paying for the Citavi Campus License, I am in the process of switching my LaTeX workflow from Citavi to Zotero (with BBT).
In Citavi, you can press CTRL+W when selecting a Knowledge item to add it at the cursor position in Texmaker including the corresponding page.
For Zotero with BBT, this would be pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C when selecting a highlighted text item. The output to my clipboard gives me \cite{citationKey}. The preferred functionality would be to output the cite-command including the page(s) linked to this highlighted text to the clipboard, e.g. \cite[p.~<pagenumber>]{citationKey}. This would mimic the Citavi knowledge item workflow to a great extent. Zotero already gives you the chance to configure the page assigned to a highlighted text (to correct difference between pdf-page and book-page). Including the possibility to configure the prefix in front of the page number would allow for localization (German "S.", English "p." etc.).
Any update would be highly appreciated!
