Actually, I totally agree.  For my own use, I would be completely happy
with just using the Pandoc syntax for citations in Org, without any
modifications.

The only reason I proposed anything else was that it seemed like other
people already know that they need more than the Pandoc syntax provides.
I think the main realistic cases are those where, in LaTeX, you'd use
commands like \citetitle, \citedate, or \citejournal -- citation
commands that pull in just a particular field from the reference,
because that is what the context around the citation requires.  I don't
see a way to do that in the Pandoc syntax.  (But am I missing
something?)  Hence my proposed field-selectors extension.

Personally, I need commands like these so little that I am happy to do
without them.  So maybe my proposal was a bit hasty.  Could we hear from
other people about how badly they need what such commands provide?

Yes, I again totally agree.  If people here settle on a syntax that is
close, but not quite the same as, Pandoc's, I will certainly do that.

Best,
Richard
