That is true.  Some tool does have to do this, and there are tools that
are designed for it outside of LaTeX (like CSL processors) that Org
could rely on.  But I really don't have any idea how easy it would be to
make the exporter interact with them in a fine-grained way like this, or
what constraints they would place on citation support in Org.  Does
anyone have a sense of this?

I think Erik Hetzner knows a lot about this -- he has done all that work on zotxt, which involves talking
to Zotero's internal citeproc.js, which is, I think, the most widely-used CSL processor.
