Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Yes

Feature value

Introduced in orgmode 9.5 (so fairly recent), this is most commonly used in academia with a bibliography file.

Additional context

There's a companion function, `org-cite-insert, where one can then insert and edit citations.

We discussed this in the org-roam plugin discussion. This isn't a requirement for the initial version of org-roam.nvim, but I wanted to document it here as a request because it is part of core orgmode.

Research direction

Read the linked Org mode manuals on Citation handling and Citations first, then inspect how existing orgmode.nvim features are structured. Pay particular attention to the companion org-cite-insert function described in the issue. Done means citation handling is supported in the Neovim Org mode implementation, including the requested insertion workflow.
