As user, I want to generate an entry based on an Id. JabRef should know the id type by itself. Thus, the drop down "ID type" should be optional. Just reading the id and checking whether it is a valid doi, valid isbn, ... If yes, fetch the entry.
Additon: If an Id is pasted into the table, the entry should be created by the Id.
Old request
In the web search, we have two types of fetchers: The first types are crawlers (like IEEE or Springer) which return multiple entires. The second type are fetchers (like DOIToBibTeX, ISBNToBibTex, or Fetch ArXiv.org) which return a single entry.
Proposal move all single-entry-fetchers to "BibTeX -> New entry". One possibility is to offer a dropdown where the fetcher can be chosen. Next to the dropdown, the id of the entry can be input. Next to it, the button "Fetch" triggers the action.
