Maybe I misspelled something in the database or I choosed the wrong reference: With above part extractors all I have to do at most is to replace the @key. But if data is copied verbatim, I have to search for all years, author names, titles, urls etc. Very error prone. I think, even citeauthor or citeurl are citations. A normal "\cite" command is nothing else than a short reference to all the detail data in the bibliography. And sometimes context allows to make these references even shorter, by only using the author name or a year etc. I don't really see the distinction between citation and indirection - each citation is as much an indirection as e.g. citeyear is. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
