Paperpile link in PDF Viewer

My workflow atm is:

  • Have one tab for paperpile library
  • Have ~20 papers of interest open in separate tabs

I’m finding that I often want to get the paperpile link to a specific paper. Right now, that means going back to the library and fetching the link, it would be great if there were a link in the PDF viewer (the beta annotations one) since the URL bar is connected to the chrome extension.

Thanks for the suggestion, @pedro. It’s not the first time it’s come up so I’ve added your +1 to the topic on our internal tracker. I can’t speak to the feasibility of the matter, but it does sound like the type of feature that could be added in one of the updates of the beta.

Also adding this function to the iOS app would be amazing!

From the annotation menu, it would be great to have access to a couple of items: 1. copy perm link 2. copy share link to clipboard

I find this to be a substantial time burden while using Paperpile

Any update on this in the last 5 years? It would be pretty useful, to be able to copy not just the paperpile link, but also the bib file and weblinks from the PDF directly.

Possibly same commands you have in main paperpile: command + B for copying bibtex, command + C for copying citation. command + option + L to copy link to pdf. Shift + S to get the sharing link.
