It must treat given files which start with "zotero://" specially.
If refdbc hits a "zotero://..." filename, it must call (new)
functions which talk to the Zotero server (through sockets or dbus,
I don't know what it offers).

All I wanted to show is a possibility to realise the semi-automatic
synchronisation with Zotero without adding completely new refdbc
commands.

I save it in Web-frontend data structures, so I don't need it in
RefDB anymore.  Add it only if you think it could be useful for
others.
