Hi. I'm a total beginner! I want to know if this app serves my use case. I need it to be able to cite things like Wikipedia does where it shows the citation as a clickable link like this "[1]" rather than (Marx 1962, 23: 249). I also need to know if there are citation scopes, as in, if I can define a certain range in which a citation is relevant. For example, in Wikipedia if you are in a section, it will always start with "[1]" as that is the first citation in that section despite being in the same file.
Also, if I cite a source multiple times at different pages / timestamps, let's say something very simple like a Youtube video, would both citations show under "[1]" or would they be "[1]" and "[2]".
I am using "[1]" and "[2]" as that is the default formatting for Wikipedia. I am not sure if you're capable of changing that formatting to something like a name for example "[Hogan 1]" and "[Hogan 2]"
I know this is a very basic line of questioning, but that's all I really need to know.
In essence, can you cite like Wikipedia rather than (Marx 1962, 23: 249) and is it possible to ensure that all citations from the same source get listed under the same number even if the link brings you to a different timestamp / page and how?
And lastly, if you make citations, is it possible to toggle on and off if they're visible. They can be distracting.
If this app can't do that, can you recommend me something that does?
