By the way... I have written some code to export the citations using
make4ht. It's just a proof of concept, and not too elegant I'm afraid.
But I wanted to explore a bit more the use of make4ht in this context.
Nice! I also think make4ht has potential for this
purpose. tex4ht/make4ht is usually a somewhat delicate tool for a
general LaTeX document (powerful, but complex), but the typical output
of citation and bibliography is text with emphasis/bold etc, and perhaps
a list, if we interpret the bibliography environment strictly. This is
much simpler (again, typically) than an arbitrary document, to the point
I believe it could be streamlined reliably for this subset of the
document.
The idea is to write the citations in Org as mere bibLaTeX commands,
but
between !!- ... -!! (a provisional regexp, for convenience, and to see
if it works). It can be tested in this Org file, which includes the
code
(you have to give a value to the variables `bib' and `preamble'):

I understand using the regexp to separate the problems, provisionally,
as you said. If it evolves, you might wish to go with the current state
of things in the wip-cite branch or, I reiterate the suggestion, look at
latex-preview, which allows you to specify the commands of interest, if
I recall correctly.
I hope you find your way trough the approach. If you do, please let me
know. Or, if you wish to discuss a particular issue, feel free to write
me directly.
Best regards,
Gustavo.
