Zotero allows you to add annotations directly to a document.  You can add annotations by selecting Add Annotation.

Search for the annotation and select the + icon to select it.

The annotation will be added to your document, with a citation.

Opens the Document Preferences window to select or change the citation style.

Refresh all citations and the bibliography, updating any item metadata that has changed in your Zotero library.

Remove Zotero field codes from the document. Field codes allow Zotero to generate your references in your chosen style within your document.

Removing field codes changes the references in a document to plain text and prevents any further automatic updates of the citations and bibliographies. This is irreversible. Make sure to save a working copy of your document before you unlink citations.
