Welcome to the Paperpile community, @fadh and @ekatant23! I’ve recorded your feedback for including the link to computer code as a metadata field for consideration by the team at a future date. There are a few possible workarounds that I can offer:

  1. If the code is in a supplementary file, you can link it to the paper by selecting the reference, right-clicking on the link, and selecting Paperpile > Attach linked file to…
  2. If you would like to include a URL to a GitHub/Dryad/Zenodo etc. repository with the reference metadata, you could add the URL to the notes field, as suggested by @ekatant23
  3. If the data/code has a DOI, you could try saving the link as a separate reference with the extension.

I suggest updating this feature request to support all kinds of supplementary materials. Most large publishers should already be submitting metadata for these linked items so it shouldn’t be too hard to retrieve.
Maybe a “related to” field would help with this?
