Hi Sylvain,
Not automatic but when researching one useful trick is to use the title of the paper and the "filetype:pdf" operator on Google. On English language FA and GA reviews one of the informal guidelines for use of the citation template is to use the url parameter for open-access / self-archived copies when the formal doi parameter points to a paywalled journal site. (and just the doi if it is open access) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_journal "Include URL link to free-article, pre-print or abstract."

Hi all, There has been quite discussion on a French list I am subscribing to regarding the latest partnership with elsevier (and I suspect we can expect a lot of attraction with this new partnership ...)
One of the interesting question raised was: is there any plan to try to automatically find, when. There is a pay walled article referenced somewhere, if an OA version exists, and if yes update the link.
I think it should be covered by TWL, if it doesn't exist yet. Do you know anything about any initiative of that kind ?
Thanks, Sylvain
