Not the "style", the "TeX template file". Many non-standard styles require
additional latex styles (.sty) to be used (\usepackage). That's what the alert
says. We can't know which those are (so we can't provide support for it), you
should know what to do when you're using the style and edit the tex template
file accordingly. You can find the tex template file from the preferences.

You can in principle use any style, as long as the tex template is supporting
it, and the .bst file can be found (i.e. is in the search paths for them).
