>> Another BibLaTeX feature I use frequently is shorthands, where the first citation introduces an abbreviation, and subsequent citations use the abbreviation instead of the author/editor name and short title. I could probably write a filter to do that, perhaps sticking the mapping from citation keys to abbreviations in the text’s YAML metadata. Knowing that your lua-mancite filter works, by running a shorthand filter in the right place I could get ibid. right as well.

There's no way to print a list of shorthands yet, though, but having multiple bibliographical lists is considered to be primarily a question of how calling applications and citeprocs interact. So, maybe, with the new citeproc library, someone (John?) might want to consider adding such a feature…

I’ve occasionally seen shorthand lists in articles, but personally I would only put one in a book, so shorthand list generation isn’t something I would use often enough to want it as a core pandoc feature. Instead, what I’d like is access to the bibliography data through a Lua API, e.g., a metadata item on the document that maps citation keys to entries from the combined bibliography files. That could be useful for other things as well, like indexing the persons or works cited.

This would be very nice, but it raises the question of what syntax pandoc might use for specifying this array.
