I think a own mode ala org-bibtex would be nice. However, the ideas might be joinable. My idea would be to have somethink like the org-mode link-feature. However, instead of asking for the link and a describtion text, I like to give the bibtex-key only. Somewhere in the Header I like to define the bibtex style and as soon as I finish this kind of link, it would be formated *direclty* according to the bibtex-style. Removing one of the square brackets should show the single bibtex entry for possible modifications. Closing the link again will reformat the descriptive text accordingly. By this way I would be able to maintain the database in org-mode with addional notes and information which are not interesting for the database records. Just an idea.. Totti
