I feel like it would fit. With everything that's been done for
citations, this feels like it may be a rather minor addition (or at
least this is what I hope).

I can't claim to have thought about this that much either, but something
like [cite:#some-fig] would seem to fit.

I don't think this should hold up the merge either, but it's relevant in
the overall nature of the feature and perhaps could be shoehorned in
following the merge? I feel like this is one small quite simple case and
most of the thinking required has already been done. I'm not sure
though, I'd go with whatever Nic's thought are on this.

Whichever way this diversion goes, I'm excited to see wip-cite-new merged!
