@MattCrump as far as I understood, #notero can produce a database (mirror of your Z database), but not a cite-while-you-write feature.
To be explored: as there is a better integration of #Markdown with the last #Zotero update, would it be a way to do something through it? This is how Z is now quite well integrated in #obsidian for instance (I use Z daily with Obsidian).
