[Feature Request] Add audio to existing anki card

[Mar2ck]

When Yomichan detects that a card already exists for a word, it would be useful to have a feature where it could then amend word audio to that card if the field for it is blank.

I often make Anki cards on my phone using Akebi but that app doesn't support any word audio features/exporting so it would very helpful if i could use Yomichan to easily fill that in when I'm at my PC. Right now the solution is to remake the card with Yomichan which is far from convenient, or use the browser dev tools to grab the URL for the word audio after Yomichan has played it.

Or you can just write a script that does this for you. Seems weird to have this in yomichan IMO, and you'd want to fill this in for all of your cards in 1 shot, not just the ones you happen to come across.

Just use anki's search feature using anki-connect's findNotes API, find all the cards with empty audio field, then use anki-connect to update the audio field for the given note ids. You probably want to use updateNoteFields

Modify the fields of an exist note. You can also include audio, video, or picture files which will be added to the note with an optional audio, video, or picture property. Please see the documentation for addNote for an explanation of objects in the audio, video, or picture array.
