C-c ] should be bound by default to org-ref-insert-cite-link. It is defined
in a hook function in line 104 of org-ref.org.

I made a custom variable to store the key-binding, but I realized it
probably doesn't help, since the binding

If you type C-u M-x  org-ref-insert-cite-link

do you get a choice?

I just tried this on a fresh pull and it does work for me. I am not sure
why this wouldn't work for you.  Do you tangle the .el file from the .org
file? I have this code somewhere else to build it when needed:
(if (or
     (not (file-exists-p "org-ref.el"))
     (< (float-time (nth 5 (file-attributes "org-ref.el")))
    (float-time (nth 5 (file-attributes "org-ref.org")))))
    (progn
      (org-babel-tangle-file (expand-file-name "org-ref.org"
starter-kit-dir))
      (load-file (expand-file-name "org-ref.el" starter-kit-dir)))
  (require 'org-ref))

That retangles the org file if the org-file is newer than the el file.

There are no [[...]]. The links work fine without them for me. Are they
necessary for some reason? I can add them, but since they do not do
anything but disappear in this case, I leave them out.  That is actually
not totally true, if you write your link as [[cite:key][page 23]] the page
23 gets formatted in latex as \cite[page23]{key}.

only thing that C-c C-l offers is autocompletion on bibtex keys for the
cite link (I have not figured out a way to avoid a lot of cut and paste
code for the other types, and I rarely use this feature, but I am leaving
it in so I do not forget how I did it ;). I guess C-c C-l might help
entering the description too.

You should be able to do all those things. The C-u functionality works
independently of the default type, and it should let you get something
other than the default.

This is correct in the version you have. The current workaround is to use
C-u C-c ], and select the "A" format, which will output a leading comma and
your selections. I have pushed a fix for this, that adds a requirement of
dash.el and checks of the link is in a list of cite types defined in
org-ref. Thanks for making me think of a solution to that!

That would be great! I hope the comments above help!
