Full-citation is confusing.  A full citation is (to me) what you have in
the bibliography.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if you by bracketed citation mean a
parentheses expression your claim in false.  This is a valid and common
enough citation:

       Smith (see e.g. 1991, pp. 31)

\textcite[see in particular][pp. 31]{smith}

On the other hand if "bracketed" refers to how it's written in the source,
how do I get both AUTHOR (PRE YEAR SUF) and (PRE AUTHOR, YEAR SUF)
citations in the same document?

\textcite[test\footnote{test}][]{key} won't compile either, though you
could probably work around if you really wanted to.

I /don't/ understand why comparability with pandoc is needed.  For better
or worse Org is a different markup.

How would cite: work with prefix, posfix and citationtype?
