How about the user interface allowing you to drag the Author name or Date from the citation and move it into the sentence. Doe's most famous paper (1999) outlined, for the first time, the structure of .... The citation being inserted in the full form (Doe:1999) and the user dragging 'Doe' from the citation to the beginning of the sentence. (With the auto disappearance of the ':'). Also the Author name remaining part on the now separated citation string parts, so that a correction to the author name in the reference data would be automatically updated in the document.
