With Scott Campbell's ZotSelect.js translator installed in Zotero, dragging and dropping an entry from Zotero into an Org test document results in e.g.: zotero://select//0_E35DK2TB/smith_twice-told_2001 Putting this in double square brackets gives an Org link: [[zotero://select//0_E35DK2TB/smith_twice-told_2001]] To make it do something, you don't even need the elisp he posted. In Org a link abbreviation with a shell command will do. On a Mac, once Fresno is installed in one's path, this should work: #+LINK: zotero shell:fresno -p "zotero:%s" After reloading, clicking that link and answering "yes" brings up Zotero in Firefox, with the correct entry selected. (Haven't tested it but I think something like #+LINK: zotero shell:firefox -remote "openurl(zotero:%s)" should work on Linux...?) Now, the question is, is this what you want to do? And what more do you want Org to do with Zotero? Personally, I use Zotero to collect references, but export them to BibTex (with a few tweaks to the translator) so I can use the much faster and less disruptive interface of RefTex to insert references into Org. But Scott Campbell's translator could save me from having to re-export my Zotero collection every time my writing calls for a reference I have to add to Zotero.
