The haskell citeproc library has this:

"a CiteprocOptions structure (which currently just allows you to set
whether citations are hyperlinked to the bibliography)"

Would something like that make sense as an optional argument somewhere
here? Or would details like that get
set somewhere else?

BTW, on the demo, the "help echo" on my machine (a very recent Emacs
28) only flickers briefly, so I can't actually see it.

But I like how this is all looking; curious what others say.
