I can think of a way, but it involves a custom function, or a markup.

Below is an example. It would be fairly trivial I'm sure to turn it
into a markup instead. I just prefer using functions.

use [(cite "a citation, author etc")] to cite something in the main
body
use [(references)] to make a rather list of citations, Probably in a
footer.

----

function cite($args, $field='') {
  global $citenr, $citelist;
  $citation = $args[1];

  if( in_array($citation, $citelist) ) $thecitenr = array_search
($citation);
  else {
    $citenr += 1;
    $thecitenr = $citenr;
  }
  $citelist[] = "[[{p}#citationanchor$thecitenr|$citation]";
  return "^$thecitenr^[[#citationanchor$thecitenr]]";
}

function references($args, $field) {
  global $citelist;
  return '\n'.impode($citelist);
}
