Maybe Richard stepped back on this, but I think at some point the consensus was that you'd have two main cite types, namely @· and [@·] which can be mapped to whatever, e.g. @· → textcite by default and [@·] → \parencite. Then the switch would be. #+INLINE-CITE: textcite #+SQUARE-CITE: parencite —Rasmus -- Governments should be afraid of their people
