AFAIK: No.  Some people wanted something like [cite/type: pre @key post].
Some people wanted additional key-value support, something like
[cite: pre @key post]{:key val}.  Some people wanted @key
to be able to contain arbitrary characters such as punctuation.

ox-bibtex supports \cite{key} and I think [[cite:key]].

There's about as many systems as there are org users.  I use
[[citetype: pre @key post]].
