Generally speaking, referencing page numbers and sections of a cited
source is not handled by dedicated citations, but rather by
annotations on the containing citation (book etc.).

So in the pandoc syntax, for example, [@book, p23].

I do the same with notes, and just included the specific citation with
the note if I need to maintain the specific source page.
