When I click on the “open” button next to the DOI of an entry it opens a web browser to the address [https://doi.org/[DOI]](https://doi.org/%5BDOI%5D), which then redirects to the article website. In order to access articles in subscription-based journals, my institution has a shortcut that involves modifying the address to the doi site (e.g. for my institution it is [https://doi-org.ezproxy.lib.uts.edu.au/[DOI]](https://doi-org.ezproxy.lib.uts.edu.au/%5BDOI%5D)). It would be great if the address used to access the articles through the DOI could be modified in the preferences.

I came here to suggest the same feature. In my case, I can access full texts through Google Scholar, since I have connected my Google account to my institution, so I’d like to open `https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=[DOI]` when I click “Open URL or DOI”.

Good news, a solution for this has recently been implemented in the latest master version.
You can now specify a DOI resolver base uri in the preferences.

Remember to make a backup of your library before trying out the new version.
