I'm not going to defend what Nicolas characterized as a "terrible idea,", but to explain a bit ...
The idea was motivated by wanting to access org-cite activate and follow functionality from the property drawer; NOT export (which as Nicolas says, would cause problems). The current (recently-added) org-roam org-cite/citation implementation uses '@key' syntax in the property drawers, which works fine for indexing (to associate citations to notes about a citation source), but not of course for the other functionality.
