I use onenote for note taking and zotero for reference management, so I usually make a hyper link in onenote pages with zotero APP URI for rapid redirection to the target item in zotero. Zotero APP URI is a "zotero://select/library/items/V74C3DEA"-like string. It is supposed to be translated as a clickable hyperlink; however, it fails in all my cases. I have to produce such hyperlink with the ctrl+k dialog manually. It is really tiring.

Here is my question: How can I make any configurations to have onenote translate the zotero://xx URI correctly? Or is there any method that help me generate a pastable hyperlink with a fixed label and the copied zotero URI? It is a easy task in markdown by generating a string '[fixed_label](zotero://xx)' with autohotkey script, but in onenote I can't even find a clue. I wish someone will show me a practical solution. I am using win 10 Pro, currently 1903, but the issue appears in any of the earlier versions.

What you are already doing can be accomplished by a sequence of keystrokes:

  1. Ctrl+K (open hyperlink window)
  2. Alt+E (move focus to Address field)
  3. Ctrl+V (paste Zotero hyperlink from clipboard)
  4. Enter (close hyperlink window)

Using AutoHotKey you can create a macro to send these keystrokes for you, for example when you press Ctrl+Alt+V:

^!v::Send ^k!e^v{Enter}

Optionally you can limit the shortcut only to OneNote application using #IfWinActive directive.
The code with added #IfWinActive then looks like:

#IfWinActive - OneNote
^!v::Send ^k!e^v{Enter}
#IfWinActive
