What would you display then?
The first iteration of the idea behind the request is this style selection UI: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1134/126531061-40cf47ab-0c7f-42ac-8ddb-341e7ab70d4b.png So the idea is to present a preview of the style/variant output when selecting the style. Like: / (Doe, 2019) ... or maybe even multiple columns: / (Doe, 2019) \citep I'm thinking the best way to build this UI is to iterate through org-cite-support-styles, and run at least the default export processes to create that preview annotation, As my thinking has evolved (and there's been a lot of discussion on this the past week), I see two options: 1. Generate the previews from the citations at point. This was the idea that promoted the suggestion here, since I can't get access to that citation data if I use org-cite-make-insert-processor. 2. Instead, have a standardized example record just for the preview. With this approach, the citation context isn't relevant. As to your question, do any style UIs currently allow you to select a style on a new citation before selecting the keys? Bruce
