Or maybe this could be achieved using a function in
`org-export-preprocess-hook':

The function would be quite simple: Iterate over all headlines and
insert the desired reference.  This would, by the way, even work
without the property macro.

Something like this:

(defun dmj:add-citekey ()
  "Add citekey to all headlines in current buffer."
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward "\\*+[ \t]+" nil t)
      (let ((key (org-entry-get nil "mykey" 'selective)))
        (org-end-of-subtree t)
        (unless (string= key "")
          (insert (format "\nReference: \\cite{%s}\n" key)))))))

Ah, Forgot about that.  Attached patch goes on top of the last one and
allows property inheritance.
