Description
I would like to suggest a feature related to bib files. The autocomplete feature triggered with @ is amazing but, as done by linking the zotero account in vscode/positron, could be nice to have the possibility to provide a global bib file as database for non-zotero users if not specified in the YAML. For example this extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=notZaki.pandocciter is implementing this for .md files.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing @ autocomplete and YAML citation behavior described in the issue, then compare the global bibliography behavior of the linked pandocciter extension. Done means non-Zotero users can use a global .bib file when no bibliography is specified in YAML, without changing the existing configured and Zotero flows.
