Hello,

Thanks for your replies. I could of course change the bibkeys. But since I am generating them through export from Zotero I would like to do so now and again when adding citations to a text, not having to edit each and every faulty bibkey each time this export process is done.

Albert Krewinkel: This script seems handy. Where do I place it? As a file by itself or inside the Markdown file? I tried the latter but I didn't seem to get it right.

If, for some reason, the bib keys cannot be changed, the combination of
spans and filters might come in handy:

Write citations as a markdown span

    [statute._2014/foo:bar_title_????]{.cite}

and use a filter like the following to convert the span into a citation.

    function Span(elem)
      if elem.classes[1] == "cite" then
        local citeId = elem.content[1].text
        local citeMode = pandoc.AuthorInText
        local citation = pandoc.Citation(citeId, citeMode)
        return pandoc.Cite(elem.content, {citation})
      end
    end
   
It is not a pretty solution, but you might find it useful regardless.
