I have come to believe the best approach to handling available styles
and previews is in the style selection UI. So that one can see what
one is waiting when selecting.

In citar, those styles and preview are currently hard-coded in a
defcustom, but I'd like to figure out how to do that dynamically,
using org-cite-supported-styles etc.

In the meantime, Timothy's article should help (see the table on the styles):

You want the "text" style; [cite/text:@doe20], or with the shortcut
[cite:/t:@doe20].
