Hypertext link option in floating citations

Post by Dullboy »

Hi, the feature of hypertext link is very useful. But it's a little bit complicated to copy a link of a reference and paste into my text. It would be awesome if a option of "copy hypertext link" could be added into the options of floating citations.

One more thing. Now I can only paste a hypertext link with a long formatted citation. Is it possible to make a hypertext link just like {author, date, unique ID}? Thank you!

I'll think about #1.

As for #2, you tell Bookends what to use for the text of the hypertext link in preferences. The default is Title, but I'm guessing you've changed it to some format. Go back to Title (or create a format that outputs author, date, and unique ID).
