At this point, we should not jump into the implementation. Rather
discuss possible pros and cons.

For example, looking at my proposal now, I see how the proposed idea is
a bit awkward:

In #+cite_export: processor[opt1=val1,opt2=val2,...] bibliography-style[...] 
citation-style[...]

I assumed that there is one "major" bibliography-style/citation-style.
However, it is not really the case in practice. The styles are combined.

For example, adding links to bibliography to citations is applied
regardless of the particular citation command being used.

So, I am not leaning closer to only allowing options being passed to
"processor", but not to styles. This will at least come closer to
certain settings being citation package global config applied to
everything. If we have options applied to specific citation commands,
they will rather fit into citation-style/sub-style.

#+cite_export: processor[opt1=val1,opt2=val2,...] bibliography-style 
citation-style
