Description dnwilson 2005-05-11 02:56:11 UTC 
It would be useful if bibliographic references and their data fields were 
accessible in the Cross-reference tool. 
 
The proposal is to add document’s Bibliographic entries as a new reference 
type into the Cross-reference ‘References’ tab. When the proposed 
‘Bibliographic Entries’ reference type was selected the Selection panel would 
show the bibliographic entries in the document by listing the Identifier 
(Short name). 
 
When a particular record was selected, the Format panel would show the all 
fields of the bibliographic record, together with the current sequence number 
of the citation – that is the number that is shown when numbered citations as 
listed.  
 
This would allow the user select any of the bibliographic elements from the 
bibliographic record and display them in the text. It might seem a bit trivial 
to build this use this just so we can display the book’s Publisher’s name in 
the text, but we could be dealing with more significant entries such as 
Abstracts and Notes.
