As someone who works author-year inline citations into the text,
APA-style, e.g.
 "as seen in Goaziou et al. (2021) citations in Org shall soon be possible"
Seeing that as
 "as seen in [1] citations in Org shall soon be possible"
is worse than
 "as seen in [cite:@goaziou2021] et al. citations in Org shall soon be possible"

I think what would be ideal, would be if common citation styles could
define a method which produces a display string, like "Goaziou et al.
(2021)". If nothing is defined, then no overlay should be produced.
