copy as link = copy as citation

Post by danzac »

For cross-work with DT, I'd like to be able to make my "copy as link" style to simply be the same as command-Y, {name,date,uniquID}

I tried to make a format style like this, but it doesn't seem like the uniqueID is available as an output. Could an option be added to the general preferences for "temporary citations" link choice?

Thanks

I think this format will do what you want:

a, d `#`@

If you want the surrounding braces, use

`{`a d `#`@`}`

ahh, thanks Jon. I was looking for the ID number in the fields drop down, didn't think to look in the special characters
