A concise solution that I found would work was to define a "shorthand"
citation alternative and just print the shorthand with that:
```
% Shorthand citation setup
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:shorthand
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand}
\endgroup
\removeunwantedspaces
\removepunctuation
\stopsetups
...
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\textcite[alternative=shorthand,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}{\textcite[alternative=listsubcite,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}}
```
Again, this works, although I'm still not sure why
invoking \texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand} directly doesn't.
I leave it to Alan to comment on this as he's the bib guru
