Thanks a lot, this is really helpful. As you suggested I added a
function to org-ref-create-notes-hook in my init file:

(defun org-ref-add-note-pdf()

  (setq pdf (concat org-ref-pdf-directory key ".pdf"))
	    
  (if (file-exists-p pdf)
      
      (insert (format "[[file:%s][pdf]]\n\n" pdf))

    ;; no pdf found. Prompt for a path, but allow no pdf to
    ;; be inserted.
    (let ((pdf (read-file-name "PDF: " nil "no pdf" nil "no pdf")))
      (when (not (string= pdf "no pdf"))
	(insert (format
		 " [[file:%s][pdf]]\n\n"
		 pdf))))
    )
  )

(add-hook 'org-ref-create-notes-hook 'org-ref-add-note-pdf)


This formats the pdf link as intended.

My question now concerns the citation link that is defined in the lambda
function in org-ref-create-notes-hook. I might want to override this
lambda function with my own hook function in order to change the format
of the citation link. I haven't found a way to override a lambda
function, though. Can you give me a hint how this is done?

Cheers,

Georg
