That was not really what I meant. :) I thought that the short name could
already reflect the citation style -- there is absolutely no need to expose a
running number in the UI. So, if the short name is only used for a running
number... we don't want the user to ever see it.

What I was proposing was to have some sort of pattern language that would
automatically create references in the correct style as the short name. I.e.
you would set the correct format once for the in-text citations and once for
the citations page and LibreOffice would mangle your data to do the right
thing.

That does not help me. I don't know this Word feature.
