Aloha Joost,
Following some pointers from Eric and Bruce I have this in my
configuration and it seems to work fine, though I haven't had a chance
to use it very much.
;; Citations
(defun tsd/choose-file (candidates)
(interactive)
(org-completing-read "Choose file: " candidates))
(defun tsd/ebib-follow (datum _)
"Follow citation or citation reference DATUM. When DATUM is a
citation reference, open ebib to the entry referencing the
citation key."
(let* ((key
(if (eq 'citation-reference (org-element-type datum))
(org-element-property :key datum)
(user-error "Not a citation reference")))
(files (org-cite-list-bibliography-files))
(file (if (> (length files) 1)
(tsd/choose-file files)
(nth 0 files))))
(ebib file key)))
(require 'oc-biblatex)
(require 'oc-csl)
(org-cite-register-processor 'ebib
:follow #'tsd/ebib-follow)
(setq org-cite-follow-processor 'ebib)
Also, it was easy to configure ebib to insert citations with the
org-cite syntax.
All the best,
Tom
