Feature idea: "working bibliography"

[mgttlinger]

Usually when I write papers I have a local bibliography for this specific paper in the repository of the paper while I also have (multiple) global bibliographies. When I reference something in the paper I add the entry from the global bibliography to the local one.

The workflow I would wish for:

• Entries from the local bibliography are prioritized in search (as they might have been adapted slightly from the global ones e.g. shortening of journal names) with the global entries acting as fallback
• The entries from the global bibliography are visually distinguished in the UI
• When I cite an entry from the global bibliography it is automatically inserted into the local bibliography

The new feature supporting local bibliographies in org files makes me hopeful that this envisioned workflow could be at reach. What do you think or how do you handle this workflow?
