A few thoughts on this:

   1. It seems that you want the full details of the reference as part of
   the citation. Is that correct?
   2. I think that pulling the information out of the refs div should work,
   but might not be the optimal approach
   3. I suspect that a better approach may be to adjust the citation style
   so the citation itself (currently just the citation number in square
   brackets) contains the desired information (post-citeproc filters should
   then see this in cite.content)
   4. If you pull all the desired information into the citations then you
   may want just to set suppress-bibliography=true to suppress the bibliography

I created a very simple CSL style that meets our needs. This specifies the
citation:

  <citation>

    <layout delimiter="; ">

      <text variable="title-short" suffix=" "/>

      <group prefix="[" suffix="]">

        <text variable="locator" suffix="/"/>

        <text variable="citation-number"/>

      </group>

    </layout>

  </citation>

and this specifies the bibliography (references):

  <bibliography entry-spacing="0">

    <sort>

      <key variable="citation-number"/>

    </sort>

    <layout>

      <text variable="citation-number" prefix="[" suffix="]"

            display="left-margin"/>

      <group delimiter=", " display="right-inline">

        <text variable="call-number"/>

        <text variable="title" font-style="italic"/>

        <text variable="publisher"/>

        <date date-parts="year" form="text" variable="issued"/>

        <text variable="URL"/>

      </group>

    </layout>

  </bibliography>

I _think_ you could adjust the <citation> layout to include the information
that you need, formatted as you want it.
