annotated bibliographies?

[bdarcus]

I saw someone mention this use case online, and it made me wonder: how would one do an annotated bibliography with an ORB system?

Maybe fodder for wiki content at some point, or some feature addition; in either case using something like this (though here the annotations are in one org file)?

Back when I needed to write annotated bibliographies, I abused the note field in BibLaTeX to generate decent results for LaTeX documents.

I tend to keep my LaTeX and Org-mode workflows separate, mostly because I like to have finer control on the produced PDFs. Therefore, I'm not too aware of how to proceed with this, and I don't think it's essential right now.

I agree, on both counts.

@bdarcus thank you for your idea! I have had similar thoughts in mind and also some experience with fine-tuning org-mode for LaTeX export. Such functionality will very likely appear in org-roam-bibtex, but I can't tell when, unfortunately.

No problem. This was more a "nice to see at some point" idea.
