Why the fixation on the publication date alone? Why not author etc? If you first add the source as an item, then you can put the author and publication date etc in the source item. When adding it as a source in a reference statement, it has the publication date in there implicitly. You can probably also query that usage data based on the publication date or authorship somehow. The problem is that you need to make items for the sources you want to reference with a publication date.
