Thanks for that. The problem here is that I use XML as the text source and
would like to be able to use 'authoryear', 'authoryears' as well
as 'mycite' occasionally, which I switch to and from by the 'opt' option in
e.g. '<cite id="hunt:86" opt="authoryear"/>'. If I understand your above
proposal correctly, I would have to literally call '\mycite[hunt:86]' on
the TeX level, and would have to abandon XML ... and thus the reason to
switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt to begin with - and nobody would want that ;0)
Could you - maybe - point me towards the more cumbersome 'official'
solution?
Thanks for your help,
Joh
