Suggestion: Reference Edit Pane DOI and URL being clickable

SCR-20241105-lmzl.png

In the Reference Edit Pane, DOIs and URLs are displayed as text. Could we enable these (perhaps the name of the field, not the fields themselves) to be clickable links, so that selecting the DOI or URL would open the respective website?

Re: Open an attachment in a specific app

I could not solve this via AppleScript, but I found a way around using BetterTouchTool. I set a keyboard shortcut for Open Attachment With > Highlights (in System Preferences > Keyboard > App Shortcuts; I used ⌃⌥⌘+H ) and in BetterTouchTool I created a Keyboard Shortcut ( ⌃⌥⌘+C ) that processes two ...

Re: Open an attachment in a specific app

Not sure that would do what I need. I'd like to be able to open attachments in Highlights (not in PDF Expert which is my default app to read/edit pdfs outside of Bookends). I can use the contextual menu, but I'm trying to speed up the process. Since I cannot set a shortcut to a contextual menu item,...

Question re: Edit References sidebar

If I remember correctly a few versions ago there was a way to fill the various fields (Edit Reference sidebar) in a pop-up window (double clicking the fields in question to be filled/edited). That was a very useful feature to me, specially when filling the authors', editors' and keywords' fields. I ...

Re: Colors for better navigation

I agree that the first request would be welcomed. @Jon... if my opinion can nudge you for an update with this feature, I'll join the request. :)

Note: here at home we are still mourning the lack of colours in the Finder's toolbar. :cry:

Re: Bookends' import workflow seems to pale in comparison to Zotero

@ryanjamurphy This won't substitute the speedy workflow of Zotero (I've moved from it to Bookends several year ago and also miss its fast capture abilities), but maybe it can useful. I gave up on Bookends browser because it felt too slow for my needs. What I do now is: Step 1. Use safari to research...

Re: Looking for suggestions on workflow (re: projects and their references)

Thanks for the feedback, Philologist. I was wondering if there was a better system than the one I already had set up. I think we are working similarly... but your suggestion of nested folders is a great improvement.

Hello, I'm trying to set up a new, more convenient, workflow re: my projects and references used on each project. Until now I had several static groups , each with several references. However, I cannot easily know which are the references I use the most. Plus, my leftmost pane is getting crowded wit...
