As explained in another message, I'd like to avoid custom citations (portability issues). >> If more than two different keys are needed in a single document, use of >> custom links or raw LaTeX would then be unavoidable.

Obtaining reasonable support for citations in every major back-end is already aiming high in my book. Anyway, I'm fine with having more powerful citation syntax for LaTeX, but let's keep the syntax as simple as possible. As I once was told, Org is not a programming language. Regards,
