I am pretty sure it would not complicate maintenance, break compatibility and so on. And as I said the changes are minimally invasive. I am a bit disappointed that I...

Fyi in a recent Consult discussion I linked above (see in particular this comment https://github.com/minad/consult/issues/210#issuecomment-775923226), Embark got support for non-command actions, since this allows to retain text-properties and makes it...

@mtreca I am not sure if you are using my [Consult](https://github.com/minad/consult/) package, but I wonder if you could do the selectrum-bibtex port in the spirit of Consult by using `completing-read`...

@mtreca Yes, `consult--read` is using `completing-read`. It is okay to use `consult--read` if * You need the special functionality provided by `consult--read`. * You are fine with making your package...

@tmalsburg From what I see bibtex-completion uses completing-read and is already supported by Selectrum as is. Maybe @mtreca wants to provide additional actions and annotations via Embark and Marginalia?

@tmalsburg @mtreca The most economic approach is the following - Add a completion category to the completing-read calls in bibtex-completion! Then provide Embark actions and Marginalia annotations in separate packages...
