But this is a for-example. People can add comments to the actual PAGE for the work. The reference (:cite Lewis-Lion:) could possibly find this page via search [in my example "cite" uses a function where $:WorkAuthor-$:WorkTitle and it looks for "value contains" rather than "value IS absolutely equal to" -- assuming this is his only work title containing the word "lion"]. The markup function should include a conversion for the link to a real link to the Bibliography output markup proper.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I do consider it necessary to be able to cite multiple works per article. If I put a Psych paper online and bother to use my BibTeX references instead of cut/paste :) or start doing this more often, I would want to cite all my sources (in APA format), or in worst-case, have footnote links to a References page.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I can see a case for a single data/reference page for all 7 books in the Narnia series, then again it's something a Category tag (Category.NarniaSeries) and a pagelist can take care of as well.
