I htink I'm looking for something impossible. org-zotxt allowed me to use
a link type "citation", which just inserted the full citation in org syntax:
Hayles, K. (1999). /How we became posthuman: virtual bodies in cybernetics,
literature, and informatics/. Chicago, Ill.: University of Chicago Press. [[
http://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?7949488&uuid=5aaa42cf-ffd2-41e3-ac6b-60e649f9f289
]]
rather than generating a link. If I had an option to do this in my
syllabi, it would greatly simplify my work flow.
