I use something similar in Forge (forge--lists-group et al.), but
there the purpose is to share groups between different prefixes, not
to make them customizable.

To let users choose what commands to offer in the menu, I would
recommend directing users towards Transient's "layer" mechanism instead
of adding an option.

See [[info:transient#Enabling and Disabling Suffixes]].  To try it enter
any prefix (magit-diff would do) and type "C-x l".  Usage information is
displayed after that.

> :scope (list citation prefix)

Shouldn't that be just be
  :scope citation
and then
  (interactive (list (magit-scope)))
to access it?

Yes, obviously you have to call transient-scope somewhere.

I haven't seen enough of the commands you want to add as suffixes to
know whether it would make sense, and is even possible, to add an
abstraction, and the few examples I have seen already contain
non-commands and "find as pdf" doesn't even exist as a named function.

That being said, if there are multiple commands like

  (defun do-something-with-citation (citation)
    (interactive (list (read-citation "Do something with citation: ")))
    ...)

it might make sense to change read-citation like this

  (defun read-citation (prompt)
    (if (eq transient-current-prefix 'org-cite-basic-follow)
        (org-element-property :key (transient-scope))
      ...old body here...))

Cheers,
Jonas
