Would you find it suitable to use [cite/command:pre @key post] in general?
For portability, I suppose there could be a defcustom mapping if one wanted
to leverage the oc-csl library with pretty minimal effort.

I think two things need to be addressed to fix that. First is allowing a *
in the style/variant section; there are probably 17 or so of these commands
in natbib/biblatex. Second is fixing org-activate-link so that link
activation functions don't get called on something like [cite/citet:@key].
This is necessary for org-ref and org-cite to co-exist, but also other
packages or users might also define links like cite:.
