Sorry, you may have to bear with me here. This is a lot to wade through :)

If it's clearly not OGC or PI, then it falls under standard copyright law,
right? So essentially the best way to legitimately use citations is
alongside, not within OGC. To have certain sections of a parsed or
segregated document covered by standard copyright, and to include references
and citations within those sections only. When it comes to others using the
open content, they can use the citations similarly in their own work,
because they are a point of fact: The feat "such and such" can be found on
page xxx of "so and so" by WotC.

I'm not so much looking for a loophole as thinking that it must be possible,
somehow, and trying to figure out how.

Cheers,
:L.
