Enabling linked-attachments for Calibre->Zotero export?

Hello,

I primarily use Calibre for my book management. Occasionally I have a book that I'd like to use in citations, and in that case I export to Zotero.
I would prefer to keep the book file in my Calibre storage location, and not copy it additionally to the Zotero storage.

When importing the RSI file to Zotero, I select "Link to files in original location" instead of "Copy files to the Zotero storage folder". However, the book is not linked, and attempting to open it from Zotero just gives an error "The attached file could not be found at the following path "/tmp/calibre...."".
If I choose to copy it to the Zotero storage, ZMI works correctly.

I am also able to manually link to the book file in the Calibre storage, but ideally the plugin would do this automatically.

Is this normal behavior, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks all the work making this plugin!
