Description

Add checkbox to citing works to choose whether to show/hide editor name on original texts belonging to that work when there is only one reference.

Some citing works should show references like this: Smith 1.2.3-5
And others should show references like this: 1.2.3-5

All original texts should continue to include editor name when there are two or more references: Smith 1.2.3-5 | Jones 4.5.6-8

Research direction

Start by locating the citing-work editor and the code that renders editor names on original-text references. Trace how single-reference and multi-reference displays are produced. Add a checkbox setting for the single-reference case while preserving editor names when two or more references exist, then verify both example formats.
