I can see the desire to avoid the space with a superscript, but that is a
latex specific formatting issue, that is probably taken care of with some
package. In the packages we use (usually natmove), citations are moved to
the correct side of punctuation, for example, so we always put them on the
left where the logically make sense (eg because it is "grouped" in the
sentence being cited. the latex package moves the superscripts to the
right. I think it also works on spaces In org-mode some
text[[cite:yoo-2014-theor-analy]] is also "ugly" ;) and harder to read.
That gives us the best of both worlds (org and latex)

I don't think I have done anything to make the naked links work.
