Seems like you'll end up wanting one view for the citation wherever it appears in the text, and another that is used down in citation list section. Each can then automagically link to the other, etc. The inclusion above could even begin life as something like {{*citation wanted}} (an option in our link/inclusion builder?) which shows a link that offering to add a citation, then when one is added it converts to the appropriate inclusion markup to show the super-scripted number linked to the citation list below. --John Abbe

I just updated this card with a new proposal that would reduce complexity dramatically.

It's based on the idea that the traditional way of managing citations (journal style footnotes or endnotes) is really based on optimizing the user experience for people *looking at paper*. The above proposal is much cleaner for web experience and involves many fewer context shifts. It would be straightforward, as mentioned, to generate a list of sources for a given chunk (or chunks) of text, but I suspect it's best to be careful not to present this in a context where it will be experienced as clutter.
