we would really need another argument somewhere to specify the name of the reference, e.g., the publication

What do you mean? The goal of the notebook is simply to find all plain references on the page (in order to work well with Markdown, with no additional functions). If you want to render references differently, you can import `data` and customize how the "References" section is rendered.

i love what you did already. the suggestion is for there to be an additional field specifiable containing publication info for the reference. so in the automatically generated reference.section, each reference link would be preceded by the info, eg, Z. Author, "Pub title", Journal, volume, etc, after which the linked URL would follow. this would allow for latex-like citation.
