Fair enough. I don't think the standard link syntax is rich enough for this. I worked out the basis for an alternative approach here: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/02/05/Extending-the-org-mode-link-syntax-with-attributes/ that might also be adaptable for your use case. It basically gets towards the cite syntax but doesn't require adding new elements and other things. I updated the org-ref docs on why we don't currently do more than the simple pre/post text. I don't have anything against supporting more, I just don't know how to do it, or when it would be right ;) > > thanks again and best wishes > alex -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu
