Thank you, I can use `citar-insert-edit` to perform this action.

Now, I failed to create a full citation in the text. This corresponds to the
`\fullcite{}' command in LaTeX. Is there an option for this?

In summary, it is a bit painful to use `org-cite` compared to using `org-ref`.
In my opinion, the main reasons are:

• Documentation is missing for `org-cite`.
• The citation commands seem to be incomplete (or at least not documented).

I am aware that all this is a lot of work, and I am really grateful that we have
`org-cite` and `org-ref` available!

Thank you,
Dominik
