Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
My suggestion is for improving the auto-link file functionality. Jabref supports the following 3 auto-linking options

  • auto-linkinig with name starting with the citation key
  • exactly match the citation key
  • regex

I think "start-with" autolinking can be replaced by a more powerful method.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be better if "start-with" auto-linking is replaced by "fuzzy-search" auto-linking that could match part of the file name.
