It appears to work for multicite for me. Or at least well enough. If I
select multiple entries, I get this:

[[ref:Author1:YYYY,Author2:YYYY,Author3:YYYY][()]]

I can then easily insert the text I want into the (). It exports
properly to LaTeX as \cite{Author1:YYYY,Author2:YYYY,Author3:YYYY}.

Maybe most people multi-cite more than me, but I think it is only a bit
of extra work to add what I want in the () and then it exports properly
to LaTeX and, using the references-via-LaTeX, to ODT/HTML too!
