We'd better add if (item) return; at the beginning of the script to prevent it being executed for multiple times when multiple items are selected in the library.

When selecting multiple items in the library, the action will be triggered for each item. You can use the items variable to get the selected items array and avoid duplicate operations.

Updated the script and added if (item) return;

Thank you

Thank you very much for the script!
I understand that the ${title} corresponds to the title of the tab at the moment.

Would it be possible to customize the format of the output with the QuickCopy formatted citations?
I would like to get something like:
[Quick Copy formatted citation] [Select link] [Open-pdf link]

• with no link on the [Quick Copy formatted citation] (see [Share] QuickCopy items #165)
• with a select link (zotero://select) on the [Select link]
• with a open-pdf link (zotero://open-pdf) on the [Open-pdf link]
  (see [Share] Copy Zotero link #115)
