Quick switcher does not show authors for non-Journal Article items

Obsidian debug info

In ZotLit: `Open literature note quick switcher`, items with type Journal Article show useful citation information underneath the title, including the authors and year.

However, items with other Zotero item types (in my experience, Preprint type) appear with only the title. The author information is definitely present in Zotero and is also accessible through ZotLit's template data, so this seems to be a difference in how the quick-switcher result is formatted depending on item type.

So we have (see example image below):
Journal Article → title + authors/year/journal shown
Preprint → title only

Reproduces in a sandbox vault?

Haven't tried yet

Steps to reproduce

Install ZotLit, select "Open literature note quick switcher" and try and look for an item that is a working paper/ arXiv paper. It will not appear the name and year of that item.

Expected behavior

The name of the authors should be appearing under the name of the article, for item type "Preprint"

Actual behavior

Below you can see an example. The second item is type "Preprint", and it contains the authors information in Zotero.

confirmed, will be fixed in next version

Fixed in ZotLit 2.1.4, out now.

The result row's second line was gated on the Journal Article item type, so a Preprint — along with Book Section, Thesis, Report, Conference Paper, and Webpage — rendered as a bare title, losing the authors, year, and publication together. Every item type now shows that line.

The "where it appeared" part follows the item type, so a Preprint shows its repository (arXiv, for example) and a Book shows its publisher. Custom item types and custom fields resolve too, and an item with neither simply shows authors and year.

Update the plugin from Settings → Community plugins.
