The citation extension is supposed to support embedded Mendeley citations 
in docx since pandoc 2.18 (2022-04-04).

It doesn't seem to be working at the moment. The Mendeley fieldcode in the 
DOCX shows that assigned citekeys are unique per paragraph (not per 
document), starting with `@ITEM-1`, then `@ITEM-2`, etc. If the document 
contains many paragraphs with references, then the citation keys get 
sequentially overwritten. The YAML citation metadata only keeps the 
metadata corresponding to the last citation keys.

I tried the file provided at 
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/7886#issue-1122560713. Then I modified 
it to this file to check that the extension wasn't limited to hold just two 
citation items.

command:
`pandoc -s -f DOCX+citations Mendeley.docx -o DOCX_citations.md`

pandoc version: 3.1.6.1 (Windows)
input: Mendeley.docx (attached)
output received: YAML with 5 references, scrambled citekeys
Excerpt:
```markdown
This is a Mendeley test [prefix @ITEM-1, 123 suffix].

Another test [prefix @ITEM-1, 10-20 suffix].

Originally the last test [@ITEM-1; @ITEM-2].

Let's assume I want to add a new reference [@ITEM-1].

And just testing if two citekeys are not a top
limit[@ITEM-1; @ITEM-2; @ITEM-3; @ITEM-4; @ITEM-5].

# References

```
output expected: YAML with 5 references, correct citation keys

Am I missing anything? Shall I log this as an issue?
