It looks nice, but how is it really going to work? Does it really just 
take you to the References section? I often want to cite a specific work 
for a specific piece of text I've written, and I don't see how this does 
it. In fact, one may want to cite a work twice, with different page 
numbers each time, and I don't see how that will work. I think this 
discussion will require a lot of worked-out examples before it's done.
