How to use BibLaTeX's shortauthor field in pandoc-citeproc?

How to use BibLaTeX's shortauthor field in pandoc-citeproc?

In BibLaTeX it is possible to specify an abbreviation for an author, so 
that the short term is used in citations and the long term in the 
bibliography:

@misc{nasa,
    author = {{National Aeronautics and Space Administration}},
    shortauthor = {{NASA}},
    title = {Rocket Science},
    year = 2019
}

Then the text becomes:

> Rocket science is difficult (NASA 2019).
>

And the bibliography:

> National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), 2019, "Rocket 
> Science".
>

Is this behaviour possible using pandoc-citeproc?

In case this is relevant, my Pandoc command is pandoc chapters/*.md 
--standalone --filter pandoc-fignos --filter pandoc-citeproc --template 
template.tex --top-level-division=part --listings --output out.pdf and the 
References section looks like this:

---
bibliography: references.bib
link-citations: true
nocite: '@*'
---
## References {.unnumbered}

In the Pandoc manual, I came across 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#citation-rendering> a 
--citation-abbreviations option which initially sounded like it could be 
what I'm after, but I couldn't find much further useful documentation for 
it. The little bit I did find after working around a 404 error 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20160731173816/http://citationstylist.org:80/2011/10/19/abbreviations-for-zotero-test-release/> 
didn't give me much hope that it does what I'm after.

Can someone help me?

I don't think there's anything in CSL corresponding to
"short author."

It would probably be possible to hack something together using pandoc
filters:

- Create an alternative bibliography which uses the short version;
- run pandoc-citeproc with the original bibliography;
- save the generated "References" section
- run pandoc-citeproc with the short-author bibliography;
- restore the original References section.

The multiple-bibliographies filter in the [lua-filters repol should be a
good starting point for this.

HTH.
