  	"editorConfig": {
  		"plugins": {
  			"autostart": [
  				"asc.{BFC5D5C6-89DE-4168-9565-ABD8D1E48711}",
  				...
  			] ,
  			"pluginsData": [
  				"https://example.com/path/to/zotero/config.json",
  				...

  }); 
  		  		    

Important: when you integrate ONLYOFFICE Document Server with a 3rd-party storage, you need to use special connectors (integration apps). If you compile a connector from source code or create a new one, you can add plugins using Document Server config. If you use ready connectors (e.g. from ownCloud/Nextcloud marketplaces) adding plugins via config is not applicable.
