Org-roam-bibtex and org-noter integration Problem

I’m on late summer holidays with no laptop so forgive me for terse responses.

Looking at your question, Org-roam and ORB are working. You are trying to somehow put Org-noter in the mix.

A couple of comments:

  1. Org-noter is not designed to natively work with Org-roam or ORB; it’s an independent package

  2. Probably your Org-noter is working but your notes are not set up correctly for it to work

  3. So… you need to learn how Org-noter works. For this, this part of this discussion might help you

My quick suggestion is this:

  1. Try not to open Org-roam/ORB notes from PDF documents — it’s probably difficult to achieve (PDF → Org)

  2. Add document property to the Org-roam notes (see the discussion linked above and Org-noter documentation) so that you can start Org-noter from them (Org → PDF)

I think what you wish to achieve is 1. See my other response below… I would suggest to stick to 2. above.

You can certainly try to code something for yourself, but I haven’t seen anyone reporting to have done it on this forum.
