Thanks a lot for the recipe.

Hm, in my case the highlighting does not span both \citep's.  It stops
at the closing brace of the first \citep.  I'm using the current
development versions of Emacs and AUCTeX.

AFAICT the code which adds these highlights is in the function
`bib-highlight-mouse' in bib-cite.el.  And it hasn't changed since 2004.

Do you perhaps have a really(!) old or a changed version of bib-cite.el
lying around which might interfere?

If you are in the mood you can also try what happens if you place point
somewhere before the first \citep, type `M-:', paste the following code
into the minibuffer and then hit `RET'.

(re-search-forward
 (concat
  "\\\\\\(" (substring bib-ref-regexp 2)
  "\\|label\\|[A-Za-z]*cite[A-Za-z]*\\(\\[.*\\]\\)?\\){[^}]*}")
 nil t)

Does point move to the closing brace of the first or the second \citep?
