Hi Richard,

It would probably be worth reviewing the discussions that led to the
pandoc citation syntax:

  https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pandoc-discuss/v54VxMXtoWM/7ezu4xDSN8gJ

Of the requirements you later mentioned:

pandoc syntax handles 1, 2, 3, 4 (locator, which is separate from
suffix) and some of 5 (author suppression; I’m not sure the use cases
for journal/date/etc. suppression). It does not handle \nocite, but
this is something that they have discussed in the past and could
easily be supported in org-mode using, e.g. a #+NO_CITE block.
Personally I feel this covers the 99% of uses while being human
readable and writable.

I agree that citekey management is something that should be handle
separately, as this will depend on the backend (bibtex file, zotero,
etc.) Whether these citekeys are also links doesn’t really matter that
much either and could depend on the backend.

best, Erik
