This means that you can not set the brackets type for the citations
unless you
insert the Reference Table.
OK, good.
Then we need to change that; at minimum we need a reference list object
that does not depend on a bibliography being inserted. This object's
job is to process references independent of where they get formatted.
And of course, the bibliography needs to be dynamic, though perhaps the
problem here is more an interface issue.
I think, then, we need the new Citation object to back up the new
field, and to interact with the Bibliography (or ReferenceList) object.
If I understand that right, then, perhaps there's stuff to work with.
But of course it is true that numbered citations
and author-date citations are not much use without a Reference Table.
But do
you have to have a Reference Table if use footnote/endnote citations ?
No.
