What did you have in mind for the citation popup?
I (one day) want to add the option of document scope selection of a
citation package (harvard.sty etc.) and then have a corresponding menu in
the citation dialog for the various forms of citation that package
provides (citeyear, citeauthor and so on). These options should be
defined in a layout file (well, a data file, not necessarily a real layout
file).
In addition one change I've been meaning to do for ages which should be
extremely simple is to change the combox operation so that if the last
character (non-white-space) of the citation key input field is a comma
then the newly selected entry from the combox is appended to the key list
rather than replacing the key as it does now.
