I think citations should always be referenced somewhat like *[Meyer2000]*... which some macro may use as a reference to an index or tiddler, but otherwise not touch. to me, those are unique (reference) identifiers that the author of a document (/tiddler) defines in an unambiguous manner, which is never generated, and wouldn't be very practical if it was just some incremented numeric index of some data tiddler. In fact, that data tiddler should hold the user defined index, in a readable manner, sorted alphabetically... while the value should adhere to some common citation style so as to specify a fully qualified source reference.
