I respect your experience in this regard. If the discussed issue is uncommon in practice, we may simply provide citet* and similar styles + fallback citet*/ as an alias. The citet* will be the default while citet*/ may be suggested, say, by org-lint if we add a new checker for this. P.S. Thinking more about org-lint, I imagine that it could be a good practice to run org-lint before every export. For example, it can save people from a common problem with handling broken links during export. Best, Ihor
