Description

This is an essential feature for using the IDE for reproducible academic research report and paper writing. There's a good discussion of this here and the feature was implemented in Visual Editor mode: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-vscode/issues/18

However, as @e-kotov has said, a feature-complete IDE for reproducible writing should have:

  • Ability to add citations in source editor mode (e.g. with @ symbol to trigger the interface and a shortcut)
  • Ability to add citations in the Visual Editor, as the quarto plugin for VS Code already does (and RStudio does also I believe)

Research direction

Review this issue and the linked Quarto VS Code discussion first. Determine whether the intended outcome is documentation for the existing Visual Editor integration or source-editor citation support, then document the supported Zotero, Quarto, and PandocCiter workflow and clearly state what remains unavailable.
