I have attached an outline of some ideas I have around bending Leo to

But it will take some help from those who are actual programmers and
those who know Leo best. Much of what I am after may already exist
somewhere in a Leo outline or in the back of someone's mind. Some of
what I am talking about is trivial, some is difficult. The end result
could see many people, from high school students to professors,
jumping on the Leo bandwagon. After spending a couple of years
examining and rejecting a large number of the piecemeal alternatives
on offer, I think Leo could be the tool that makes it happen for me
and millions of others in my situation.

Interesting thoughts. Here's my take on your points.
Bibtex.py autolookups -- this should be trivial, and could probably be
baked into the bibtex.py plugin at somepoint.
Citations -- don't forget Chicago and Turabian!
Notes & references -- potentially handled by @url nodes? Depends on what
you mean by references... in-text, or simply in-outline links. The
latter case is a perfect use for @url nodes.
PDFs -- this one is perhaps the hardest task. This would require a
great deal of work.
As a side note, I use Leo to write. I have a pretty slick setup that
uses Leo as an editor and outliner, GNU Make as a build system, ConTeXt
as my document preparer, and git as version control. Four simple tools
that work so well together. Here's my bare-bones setup:
https://github.com/gatesphere/context-leo-make This could easily work
with BibTeX, and with a bit of work would be just fine for LaTeX work as
well. It's a far cry from what you've indicated, but it's a step in the
right direction.
