I tried using BetterRed's suggestions:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...om+column+link

1. The identifiers does not work, or I added wrong?

zotero
Zotero
zotero://{id}

2. Adding it as a custom column as html works but I have to click on the link to create a link.

or can a plugin make a calibre:\\ uri that does not change similar to zotero? I used to use the path but everytime the book is updated ( changed the title), the path is changed.

I just like to reference the book into zotero without it breaking if I update the book.

I changed my tactics so instead of adding calibre link into zotero, I will link zotero uri into calibre.

Are there any solution to this?

Thank you!
Identifiers do work - but they may not be suited to your use case.

I stopped using them. Having half the 'story' in the Preferences->Look and Feel->Book Details dialogue and the other half in the Metadata Edit->Basic Metadata dialogue didn't suit me at all. So I use Links in long text columns, which I can edit in the book list along with all the other metadata.

I this instance I would create a long text HTML column with Header on the side called #zotero/Zotero.

But, but, but - there's this plugin ==>> Zotero Metadata Importer

Does it not do what you want?
