In general, a citation is conceptually a kind of specialized link. And org-ref and now org-cite is designed around the possibility of attaching actions to those citations. So, for example: > An example, could the link "[[id:20210607T083216.726761][...]]" be > substituted by a cite, that takes you to the reference? The oc-basic processor has an at-point function that will do just this, if by "reference" you mean the bibtex (and maybe ultimately csl json) source entry. Have you looked at org-roam and org-roam-bibtex? If not, that might give you some ideas, as it heavily relies on org links, but also has support for citations. Plans there are to support org-cite, BTW. Bruce
