I do like the proposal in general, but I can see a potential issue for
users. Constructs like "word*:" can be recognised as a valid bold
emphasis ending. For example:

>>> Some *bold emphasis with reference [cite/citet*:@key] will end
>>> at "citet*", but not here*.

Note that inserting zero-width space will not only be awkward here, but
also breaks parser: e.g. [cite/cite<zwspace>t:@key] is not currently
recognised as a citation.

Best,
