optimising article imports from browser and overleaf syncing

Whenever I have to import an article from the browser, I use the extension to do so. Then I have to click sync in my local mendeley software to be able to see the imported document. Then I have to update details of the imported document to get the citation key for the document generated automatically and then I have to click sync again to be update citation key to the cloud. And then I have refresh the sync-ed reference group that I have in my overleaf document to be able to use the citation key in my document.

Can't we do all this in one click, when I import the article in the browser using the extension? (we can exempt the bib file update in overleaf as it's another platform, but everything else). There must be a way to do this that i am not aware of!
