The approach I take to menus of contextual commands in bibtex-actions is to rely on the Embark package, which will associate categorized completion candidates with a keymap of commands, and so make the commands available in context, display the menus depending on how you configure it (default embark menu vs which-key). https://github.com/oantolin/embark So I have no code specific to this, except that a) I give the candidates a "bibtex" metadata category in completing-read, and b) I provide a keymap. The user has to specify the association between the two, or to their own custom keymap. Conceptually, I'd guess we want something similar; for it to be easy to use hydra or embark or whatever to associate commands/functions with citation items (keys). Bruce
