Re: [org-cite] request for coding help on a capf to insert citation key

[Bruce D'Arcus]

One other idea, Nicolas:

Is there room to include a org-cite somehow, so that one had a defcustom like:

(setq org-cite-complete-key-candidates my-candidates)
;; here override default with results from my package
(setq my-candidates (bibtex-actions--get-candidates))

... and default could be some simple thing in oc-basic?

If not, totally fine of course, but I thought I'd mention it as I'm
trying to figure this out.
