This is loosely based on the same functionality in ZotFile, but it tries
to do the right thing based on existing Zotero settings: either the new
PDF handler setting in the prefs or the system-default app. The latter
can only reliably be determined on Windows (and this uses ZotFile's
function to read that from the registry), but this tries to figure it
out on macOS and Linux too using the Mozilla handler service. (The
handler service only gets you an app name, not a path, so on Linux we
can try reading mimetypes.list and the like in case someone is using a
system-default okular or evince not in /usr/bin, but that's not yet
implemented.)
This uses the new 5.0 URL format, and a 'page' query parameter instead
of a path component:
zotero://open-pdf/library/items/[itemKey]?page=[page]
zotero://open-pdf/groups/[groupID]/items/[itemKey]?page=[page]
It also accepts ZotFile-style URLs, though, so if you uninstall ZotFile
you should still be able to open those links. ZotFile will need to
accept the new format for new links to work when ZotFile is installed,
since it will override this handler.
This functionality will be necessary for annotation extraction (#1018)
and for imported annotations from Mendeley (#1451).
