Could you be a bit more explicit about what you want to do, possibly
giving an example?

You can add a feature per export back-end, using, e.g., "ATTR_HTML"
keyword:

    #+attr_html: :cite The source
    #+begin_quote
    ...
    #+end_quote

For example, ox-texinfo supports :author for quotes:

    #+attr_texinfo: :author ...
    #+begin_quote
    ...
    #+end_quote

See `org-texinfo-quote-block' for details.
