more helm-bibtex/org-ref questions

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte <rdiaz02@gmail.com>]

Dear All,

(I am not sure this is the appropriate place, but this is neither a bug
report nor an feature request about helm-bibtex or org-ref, but a question
from ignorance and I am learning quite a bit from the other helm-bibtex
questions).


How do people deal with multiple files that are logically associated to an
entry?


I've been used to keeping the main file, supplementary materials,
associated code, etc, in a directory per entry. This kind of modus operandi
is something I adopted (fell into?)  easily with Zotero and Mendeley. But I
am not sure that this is the best way to proceed.


If I end up with multiple files per directory, helm-bibtex-find-pdf[1]
cannot know which one I want to open. I could keep the main file in the
general directory, so it is found directly by helm-bibtex-find-pdf and
specify other files (of secondary usage) in the "file" field (and maybe
open them via ebib when/if needed)?  But this does not seem
elegant. Another is to have an entry per file, with unique key, but this
does not seem right.



Thanks,

R.

 
[1] Thanks to Titus' help
(https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex/issues/53), opening a PDF that is
given in the "file" field with the directory name is now within my reach.
