I don't see how my presence (or not) on the list relates to this. If
there's an idea worth a discussion, it should not be buried within
a thread.

But we're on an Org mailing list so…

I don't think it is a problem for citations.

I think link attributes were discussed a couple of times on this ML
already. Nothing was implemented tho.

I'm not convinced Org should generalize this to any inline object,
either, mainly because it sounds messy. Of course, if you have an
idea on the subject, please share it.

In any case, this is another topic, neither related to citations nor to
cross-references.

In that situation, you can define a new style specific to the citation
back-end.
