> @mvalle This feature is available in the latest JabRef 5.15 You can set a custom cite command in the preferences for Push To Application and then this will be used when you select the option from the context menu: From the docs: With that, you can even support Pandoc’s Markdown citation syntax. Configure it with [@key1,@key2]. [Pushing to external editor application | JabRef](https://docs.jabref.org/cite/pushtoapplications) Best regards Christoph
