Fair enough.

Actually, there is another, shorter possibility:

  - in-text citation 

      [KEY] or [KEY suffix]

    [@item1] or [@item1 p. 30] or [@item1 p. 30, with suffix]

  - out-text citation 

      [cite: prefix? key suffix?; prefix2? key2 suffix2? ...]

    [cite: see @item1 p. 34-35] or [cite: @item1 pp. 33, 35-37, and
    nowhere else] or [cite: -@item1 p. 44] or even [cite: see @item1 p.
    34-35; also @item3 chap. 3]

IMO it is quite readable.

This can be partly (i.e. visually) solved with overlays, e.g., you write
[@item1: p. 30] and you see @item1 (p. 30) in the buffer. IMO, this is
overkill, though.

IMO, my current proposal is clearer.

Also, you can switch to in-text to out-text (or the other way) just by
adding (or removing) cite: at the beginning of the citation.
