When inserting a link a reference using org-cite (e.g `[cite:@name_of_ref_in_bib_file]`) and generating the latex instead of generating code like `\cite{name_of_ref_in_bib_file}` what get in the generated .tex file is the actual citation written out in full. Is there any way to change this behavior to generate links instead (i.e have `\cite{name_of_ref_in_bib_file}` appear in the .tex file)?
