Hello John & co., I need to chime in when it comes to the UI:

So long as there are 3 different functions that implement these actions, I would be happy. Despite using Emacs for approximately 35 years, I use evil mode to avoid making my RSI worse (RSI due originally to mouse use in the 80s, not Emacs ;-)). In that context, typing C-u is not ideal. (C-c is worse, mind you.) I have a "," leader key to which I add org specific commands when in org mode. Just my 2ยข. In terms of the bigger picture, citations and cross-references, to me, are different things (one is external and the other usually internal, respectively) and I see no benefit in conflating them. I am also still not convinced that org links are not sufficient but I don't mind if there is a new syntax for cross-references, if this is deemed beneficial. However, these feelings (as opposed to the UI issue) are not strong and will easily adapt to whatever is decided. eric -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.4.6-625-ge7454c : Latest paper written in org: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.05096
