How to export metadata of a single book to Apple Notes

[t_heinrich]

Hello,

I'm looking for an easy way to export all metadata of a single book (including cover) to Apple Notes.
There I want to write down my own thoughts.
Is there a plugin which I can use?

Thanks in advance.

There is no plugin specifically for Apple Notes.

Thanks for the information, that's what I was afraid of.
Is there perhaps an alternative that I could use as an interim step?

You can copy the metadata data for a book to the clipboard, via the Copy metadata action in the Edit metadata drop down, viz:



The shortcut, Ctrl+C, was set by me. There's a Tweak that's relevant: 'exclude_fields_on_paste'. This is what you get in the clipboard, maybe you can wrangle something in Apple Notes to deal with it.

I moved this to Library Management, more likely to be seen here by members who may have other ideas.

There's something similar if you right click on BD white space.
