[O] Navigatable and exportable bib/notes links - Was: Re: Integration of RefTeX and LaTeX export

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

FWIW, I've been inspired by your code and some other posts on the topic
of bibliographic references / notes management with org-mode and have
summarized the results in [0].

The end result : links like [[note:abibref]] or [[bib:abibref]] which
respectively point to a bibliography notes or a bibtex section in a
.bib, and which both can be exported to latex as regular \cite{abibref}
references would do.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
