my solution to this (which I think worked well) is to select the keys, and insert a default style, and then you run a command that updates the style. that way you can get the keys that are in the citation easily from org-element-context, and then I can make a preview for each style that is consistent with the best guess for what the exporter is. (based on the cite_export keyword, or a default choice).
