Possibility to ignore overwriting manual adjustments to .zenodo.json-file by update_citation()?

[wlangera]

Is there any way to add related identifiers or any other metadata automatically to .zenodo.json using update_citation() , or is there any way for update_citation() to ignore manual additions?

Description
This is my Zenodo publication. I want to add related works. E.g.:

Is described by
Preprint: 10.37044/osf.io/vcyr7 (DOI)

However, with checklist, a new release is created each time I merge with the main.
This means each time I merge with the main, a new release is published on Zenodo (due to Zenodo-GitHub integration).
And this means, each time I need to add related works again and again in the Zenodo metadata manually ...

I think I can add this to .zenodo.json manually in the GitHub repo:

"related_identifiers": [{
  "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/vcyr7",
  "relation": "isDescribedBy",
  "scheme": "doi"
}]

Unfortunately, update_citation() will overwrite this file each time deleting this manual addition.

This is a nice suggestion. However I have to place it on the back burner. Maybe I will implement it, maybe I won't. Feel free to submit a PR.
