Thank you very much! I will explore more. The keys are correct. On reopening the .org file, the behavior is now consistent: clicking on any citation does nothing :-) I will try to experiment with your processor. I did manage to configure org-ref-cite to open PDFs a few months ago, but when trying to combine it with org-roam and helm I managed to screw up my configuration and so I'm now starting from scratch more carefully.
Best regards, Leszek.
