I wonder if this is something parsebib can support, and org-cite itself. Looking at the citeproc.el code, it includes some functions to parse org-bibtex (see [example](https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el/blob/c95a1cceb5bcb5d633b5928875353b9882fb1983/citeproc-bibtex.el#L373)), but I'm not sure...

There are really two pieces of functionality here: 1. parsing the file into a form that [citar--format-candidates](https://github.com/bdarcus/citar/blob/202956753e9dd19324a237114ea8c11410e939ae/citar.el#L443) can handle for display; this function just uses `parsebib-parse` directly. So adding org-bibtex...

Hah; you probably know more than I.

Seems @andras-simonyi is using three functions for this in `citeproc-el`, all of which you can see in [this function](https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el/blob/8ba17839b29cafbb25c7609165fe8285ce766e1b/citeproc-itemgetters.el#L108).

@JonathanReeve - per the discussion, support here would depend on upstream enhancements to parsebib. If and when that's added, library browsing should automatically be upgraded, and we discuss other possible...

Here's a similar use case, but using embedded BibTeX. https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rsyqxu/literate_annotated_bibliography_wip/ Ideally the solution could support both (though the BibTeX would be much simpler of course; I guess this is what...
