Yes! OpenURL is a URL that refers to an article (or book) instead of a web address. It can be used in conjunction with a citation management system, such as Zotero (but it also works with EndNote and Mendeley) to help quickly find articles for batch processing for something like a systematic review. Often OpenURL will be used with a literature screening tool, such as Covidence, DistillerSR or Rayyan.
