Ah, then it has to go. Here comes a fixed patch. The code is much
simpler like this, but i kept the let under the lambda because for some
reason it did not work for me. Also, the interactive clause in the
transient,
while working, upset make test, but this could be fixed by requiring
org-element and quoting citation and citation-reference.

Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Cheers,
