Is it possible to have three options?

1. if on "cite" prefix, edit style
2. if on citation-reference, edit reference
3. else (like where point is after a semi-colon but within the
citation), append reference

So the difference with current behavior is 1 would be more
constrained, and 3 would be a new option.
