Here is a solution that works for me. Is this an OK use of eval, or is
there a better way of doing this?
(defcustom org-cite-basic-follow-actions
'[["Open"
("b" "bibliography entry" org-cite-basic-follow.open-bibliography)]
["Copy"
("d" "DOI" org-cite-basic-follow.copy-doi)]
["Browse"
("u" "url" org-cite-basic-follow.browse-url)]]
"Contents of the org-cite-basic-follow transient menu.
This can be customized directly using the customization
interface. Use setopt instead of setq if you change this option
in elisp, to ensure that the transient is rebuilt.
Further actions can be added using transient-define-suffix."
:group 'org-cite
:type 'sexp
:set (lambda (option-name new-value)
(eval
`(transient-define-prefix org-cite-basic-follow (citation &optional
prefix)
"Follow a citation reference.
The contents of this transient menu is set in org-cite-basic-follow-actions."
,new-value
(interactive)
(if (or org-cite-basic-follow-ask prefix)
(transient-setup 'org-cite-basic-follow nil nil :scope (list
citation prefix))
(org-cite-basic-goto citation prefix))))
(set-default-toplevel-value option-name new-value)))

Ah, thanks!

The lambda form is much neater with your (transient-scope) suggestion:
(lambda (citation prefix)
(interactive (transient-scope))
...)
Is this simple enough? I don't feel a macro would improve the
situation.
