A mouse-driven Emacs?
If you're familiar with acme(1) or Plan 9, you're bound to know about mouse chords (for the uninitiated, see http://acme.cat-v.org/mouse). There's a github repo in the wild that implements mouse chording for Emacs: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse but I never tried it so I can't tell how good it is.

What’s New in Emacs 28.1?
Yeah, I never really looked at mouse binding, but does look quite simple.
This implements acme chording for copy/paste and the approach looks straightforward: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse/blob/master/acme-mouse....
And this package looks like a cool way to recreate the context sensitive text actions: https://github.com/cmpitg/wand
Combining the approach from the first and the wand package could potentially surpass the acme experience by making it easier to customize and extend.
My friend joked about how I'm religious about the keyboard, but really it's about the right tool for the job, and if I had an acme-like mouse experience with emacs I'd def be mousing around more often. Funny that compared to normal people I'm a keyboard fanatic but compared to majority of emacs users I'm on the mouse way more often :)

Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Org-roam, zotero, and org-noter workflow for scientific research and citations (+bibtex)?
Periodically, I go through the pdfs I've read (I have a collection in Zotero for the stuff I am in the process of reading) and I use org-noter-pdftools (see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools ; this is different from, and extends and depends on, org-noter which, by the way, has recently got new maintainers) to extract all annotations in the pdf to a note that is associated to each pdf. One to one mapping here: one pdf file - one .org file for notes. These notes are basically just org(-roam) files that store the annotations for easy searching (see below) and to allow my linking to specific, individual, highlights (or text annotations). I think that initially setting everything up to my satisfaction was a little bit confusing (e.g., the names of some functions I think are the same between org-noter and org-noter-pdftools and sometimes it was unclear to me the differences in functionality between the two packages); but now it works flawlessly. From org-noter-pdftools I specially like how easy it is to get all the highlights, text annotations, etc (not manual scribbling, of course, and see also below for "typewritter" annotations) into an org-roam note that links directly to the exact location in the pdf.

Share your workflows for highlighting books - roam compatible epub reader with highlighting? nov.el / ereader
Check out my screencast on org-noter. I don't think anything else comes close to this kind of workflow. Unfortunately it's not production ready yet. There's a related project org-noter--pdftools, I don't recall what it's state is.

Not being able to install and use pdf-tools or anything related to org-pdf
First I tried config from here - https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/19686/how-to-use-pdf-tools-pdf-view-mode-in-emacs but the package in unmaintained, so I used https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools
