I guess you'd distinguish between fullcite and footfullcite then? I have
only ever used fullcite for illustrative purposes, e.g. demonstrating the
citation style. And I guess footcite is an alternative to
{textcite, parencite}.

Do you mean an ox-filter here or the slash "/"? It's more complex and but
probably also prettier. "[@K/author]" looks nice. I haven't seen "/" in
bibtex keys.
In any case, an ox-filter is no good. You sometimes need it for
constructing sentences, e.g. I like to keep out the year when it's obvious
to ease reading::
A (Y) showed foo. Note that A assumed that ...

OK. But what if I want to use, say, my "genitive" citation, "A's (Y)", in
html? This is perhaps a question of whether we'll manage to find a tool
to handle this for us, or we'll have to do it lisp.

So [@key post] is equivalent to [cite:default_command: @key post]. Does
it scale to an arbitrary length of keys, e.g. [@k1 post1; ⋯; @kN postN]?
Could [@: pre1 @k1 post1; ⋯; preN @kN postN] be used if you need prenotes?
Or only [cite:⋯].
Would you "expand" all short citations in the early ox parsing?
I don't care for "@key [post]"

Why do you write "filter" after the slash? Am I supposed to think about
ox-filters?
