Hi. Sorry in advance if this has already been covered.
AFAICT there's not yet a standard latex export for org-bibtex links. I think that the following in org-bibtex.el : (org-add-link-type "bibtex" 'org-bibtex-open) sets what's needed to navigate links like [[bibtex:mybib.bib::abibtexref]] (or [[file:mybib.bib::abibtexref]] ?) to the contents of the bibtex notice, but doesn't help with how the latex export needs to be. AFAIU, it lacks a second function that could be used to export the links. So all that's needed is another function as : (org-add-link-type "bibtex" 'org-bibtex-open 'org-bibtex-export) which would render as \cite{abibtexref}. Something like : (defun org-bibtex-export (path desc format) (let* ((search (when (string-match "::#?\\(.+\\)\\'" path) (match-string 1 path))) (path (substring path 0 (match-beginning 0)))) (cond ((eq format 'latex) (if (or (not desc) (equal 0 (search "bibtex:" desc))) (format "\\cite{%s}" search) (format "\\cite[%s]{%s}" desc search)))))) I think this can work (see more details in [0]), and maybe that wouldn't be too hard to patch org-bibtex for something more generic ? Is this reasonable ? I'm not following the list regularly, so any feedback by email couldn't hurt.
