Well, currently, if there's a reference at point, the function updates
it, which I think is also a valid behaviour.

On other parts of the citation, the function updates its style. Styling
the citation is probably less important than adding a reference. So
I could use C-u for the style, and append a reference when point is not
on one of them already.

However, I'm not designing a canonical way to handle citations here. Any
library (e.g., Org Ref *hint*) is free to use the :insert property and
provide a different implementation. Then, for example,

  (setq org-cite-insert-processor 'org-ref)

will be enough to have it occupy the <C-c C-x @> binding :)
