Research direction

Start by tracing the browser extension's existing paper-PDF discovery and the code that populates the "file" field. Investigate how supplementary-information PDFs are identified across supported sources, then verify that the original PDF remains first and the SI PDF is added second. The issue names no files or tests, so repository exploration is needed before implementation.

Description

status:depends-on-external status:zotero

Some papers have a 2nd PDF called SI, which stands for supplementary information. In paleontology, it are mostly data sets, graphs or other calculations which are too detailed to put in the paper itself.

I'would like to request for the browser extension a check if SI PDF is available and if there is one, download it and put it as 2nd PDF in the "file" field (while 1st PDF is the original paper).
