Creating links with citations (e.g., [some link text][@Smith2020] )

Creating links with citations (e.g., [some link text][@Smith2020] )

[Joseph Reagle]

I sometimes find myself writing for a popular venue where citations aren't welcome but links are. If @Smith2020 has a URL associated with it in the citation database, it'd be cool to do something like:

You should really read [the excellent book][@Smith] from earlier in the year.

Anyone have any ideas for achieving something like this?

Just create a tool that produces a list like this, for
the items in your database:

[@Smith2020]: https://example.com/whatever
[@Joens2020]: https://google.com/whatever
...

Then pass the file to pandoc after your main markdown
file.

How, then, to create the list?

I think it could be done using pandoc's templating system,
if you have the bibliography in YAML form.

Use a template like

$for(references)$
[$it.id$]: $it.url$
$endfor$

I think you need to include the `@` explicitly:

$for(references)$
[@$it.id$]: $it.url$
$endfor$
