You know that SuperCite can do the ">"-style as well, right? I set
these variables to get the quotation style you see in this article:
(setq sc-citation-leader "")
(setq sc-nested-citation-p t)
Perhaps you can set those via topic/group-parameters, or
posting-styles to achieve what you want?

Back in the day I had so many complaints about using the "Name>"-style
that I decided just to go with what everybody else uses (and can
produce/parse) and do the normal ">"-thing. By now I think it's easier
to read.
