tex4ht is beautiful piece of software. For odt it creates perfect
citations and reference list.
I was thinking about utilizing biber for this purpose at some point. I
forgot why I stopped looking at it...
It might be possible and if it is, it would be very nice, as biber and
biblatex are arguably the better tools.

The last time I had to produce a "word document" with citations I used
tex4ht to generate the end-of-file bibliography and bibtex.el + hacks for
creating in-text citations.
Here’s snippets from my Makefile:
paper_.docx: paper_.odm
soffice --headless --convert-to odt paper_.odm; \
soffice --headless --convert-to docx:"MS Word 2007 XML" paper_.odt
paper_.odm: all_refs.odt paper.odt
paper.odt: paper.org lit.bib
emacs --batch --no-init-file --load paper-config/org-conf.el
paper.org --funcall org-odt-export-to-odt; \
$(call LO-TBLWIDTH, paper.odt)
all_refs.odt: all_refs.tex paper.pdf
biber paper.bcf --output_format=bibtex -O cited.bib; \
latexmk -dvi all_refs.tex; \
mk4ht oolatex all_refs.tex; \
abiword --to=odt all_refs.odt
With all_refs.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{cited.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[heading=none]
\end{document}
