Thanks for the patch!

See my comments below.

Technically, we still support Emacs 27, which does not have
transient. But accounting for this would be a pain and Emacs 30 is
probably going to be released some time around the beginning of the next
year. So, let's not worry about this and accept that Org 9.8-pre (next
release) no longer supports Emacs 27.

If you are a user of Emacs 27 + Org main branch, and have strong
objections, please chime in.

I imagine C-- C-u more as a toggle - if `org-cite-basic-follow-ask' is
t, it disables the menu; enables otherwise.

Note: our convention is to use double space between sentences.
There are also typos, but that's a minor thing I can fix myself before
merging.

Could we make !prefix, and !citation work in lambdas? We should be able
to.

It should not matter for this command where it is called from.
You can simply drop references to `org-open-at-point'

We can even make the prefix work as a standalone command. Simply using
interactive spec.

(interactive
   (list (let ((obj (org-element-context)))
           (pcase (org-element-type obj)
             ((or citation citation-reference) obj)
             (_ (user-error "No citation at point"))))))

Suffixes can be added. Try

(transient-append-suffix 'org-cite-basic-follow nil
  '[["Other" ("t" "test" (lambda () (interactive) (message "Hello!")))]])

> +(defun org-cite-basic-follow--parse-suffix-specification (specification)

Please, add the docstring.

`org-open-at-point' may be called with point at citation rather than
citation reference. Citation object does not have :key property.

I think that we should drop !citation-key spec and instead specify that
the command may be called with citation or citation-reference object in !citation.

Docstring here as well.
