I will chime in to say that I would actually like this.  One of my
frequent uses of macros is for acknowledgements in a presentation, where
I use:

#+macro: cite [[$2][@@latex:\vfill\Citation{$1}@@]]

with a typical usage being

   {{{cite(EF\, JM\, et al.\, 2021, http:...)}}}

which would benefit from being able to type:

   {{{cite;(EF, JM, et al., 2021 ; http:...)}}}

but it's not a killer lack of feature, to be fair.
