[Feature Request] Add arXiv support to Quick Add

Post by iandol »

I add a lot of arXiv papers and currently I do this by copy and pasting the arXiv number from my preferred browser to the arxiv.fltr search in bookends browser. I am totally spoilt by Quick Add (⌘⌃N, which I trigger automatically using my alfred workflow) for DOIs and PMIDs, and was wondering if it would be possible to add arXiv to the list of supported sources for Quick add.

One possible problem may be guessing whether the number is an arXiv reference or not, but at least on the arXiv site the numbers are usually prefixed to make recognition easy: arXiv:1808.03357 so selecting that text would make it easy for quick add I think...
