Hi again, I just rethought my idea. I think even if there is no full automatic link function, it would be nice to see bibtex as a org-babel mode.
My worse case scenario is as follow: Someone ask me to send the reference X or a bunch of references Y to someone in plain-text (mostly they like to copy them over in MS-word). The actual procedure: For the moment, I have to write a "fake" LaTeX document, and force bibtex to place all the given bibtex-keys into the references list of this document even if not really refered to it in the text. I guess I could also copy all the bibtex entires of the desired references in a singel bib-file and run bibtex manualy. But I'm doubt whether this is really faster. After that I need to copy the results from the PDF or PS file to plain text email. Wrong line breaks and format loose are the results. The org-mode babel approach would be: I would prefer two ways in a bibtex-babel set-up. 1. Take the bibtex-entires from a given database (bib-file) according to the given bibtex-keys inside the source code block. Process them by the given bibtex-style and place the result in the result section of org-babel. 2. Add full bibtex entries directly to the source code block and process them according to the given bibtex style. Place the result in the result section of org-babel. The idea to extend the link function of org-mode by linking to a bibtex- database might be the next step.
