I guess you use note-based styles?

Why do you have those as part of the same citation, as opposed to
putting that content in a note, with two distinct citations?

In any case, I guess more broadly:

Does it make sense to treat "suppress author" differently than other
citation variant; like, say, author-in-text (in natbib, \citet)?

Are these really the properties that should attach to the citation
items, rather than the citation overall?

For org, I'm trying to figure out if "suppress author" is really a
style, and secondarily, if it is, should it be allowed to apply to the
items within a citation as well.
