Added bibtex-completion-find-key-from-file, bibtex-completion-find-key-functions and bibtex-completion-find-key-from-note. The find-key-from-file runs bibtex-completion-find-key-functions to return a key associated with the file name passed to it. bibtex-completion-find-key-from-note is one of the bibtex-completion-find-key-functions functions. It uses a file name then strip it to its base. For example "/path/to/author99.org" will be stripped to "author99" then—assuming that "author99" is a key—it double-checks by passing "author99" to bibtex-completion-find-note-functions, which returns a note file path associated with it, only returning the key if the file are the same. Will add find-key-from-pdf soon.
It takes the file name, search for the file name in bibliography files if it can’t find anything, then search the base file name in library paths.

The initial idea is from #381. Their docstrings are quite extensive.
I've written four functions and one variable,
the function
find-key-from-filedelegates finding key to every function in the new variablefind-key-functionseach takes one argument called FILENAME.The
find-key-functionsincludesfind-key-from-note, a function that returns a list of key associated with FILENAME andbibtex-completion-notes-pathdepending on its value.find-key-from-pdf, thats use another new functionget-entry-with-string(See description in [Feature request/Question] A reverse bibtex-completion-find-pdf function? #381. TLDR; list every entry with STRING in its fields.) to return a list of entries with FILENAME in its fields then extract the"=key="field from each entry in the list or just return the BibTex part of FILENAME in a list.
