            Bug ID: 131436
           Summary: Improve support for Zotero's ReferenceMarks and
                    Bookmarks
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: georgios.mavropalias at gmail.com

Description:
At this moment, the functionality of Zotero in LibreOffice Writer is much worse
than MS Word due to limitations in LO Writer.

Even though LibreOffice Writer has the option to apply field shadings, it does
not do the same for bookmarks, so it is difficult to distinguish citations in
text. This is because there's no shading for Bookmarks in LibreOffice, which
also, unfortunately, makes it much easier to accidentally corrupt/edit
citations in-text. 

Moreover, I used to be able to simply copy and paste Zotero citations in MS
Word to other parts of the text. However, I noticed that in Linux with LO
Writer saving in docx and storing references either as bookmarks or
ReferenceMarks I cant. This is due to another limitation in LO Writer being
able to cut and paste citations, but not make duplicates (copy-paste).

Zotero is the leading reference management software and it's really
disappointing the due to LO Writer limitations many people heavily using
reference manager software (e.g. academics) are forced to stick to MS Word just
for that, when LO Writer is such a rich and mature software on par or many
times better than MS Word. 

Please consider improving support for Zotero.
