I created a new branch: "wip-cite". It introduces support for @key [@key] [cite:pre @key post] and [(cite):pre @key post] constructs. As a reminder, I prefer subkeys over plists because they have a smaller footprint in the document. Also, as already explained, having many subkeys is not a problem with proper tooling (e.g., some completion with descriptions). Note that this is closer to "org-ref" requirements, probably making easier to port some features into core. However, opinion from advanced citation users on this ML has more weight that mine. Instead of trying to figure out hypothetical crazy uses for citations (e.g., using 50 different citation commands), I'd rather hear from people with real citation requirements who are willing to use this machinery. At this point, we probably need to implement a BIBLIOGRAPHY keyword (files) and BIBLIOGRAPHY_BACKEND (bibtex, zotero, jabref...) and provide basic tools to handle citations in an Org document.
