This landscape is still new, but my oc-bibtex-actions one allows you, for example, to use embark to run different actions from an org-cite citation. By default it will open associated documents or links. https://github.com/bdarcus/bibtex-actions John Kitchin's org-ref-cite does similar with a hydra menu, though I'm unsure of his plans for the package. https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref-cite Bruce
