How to change citation behaviour when using Typst

[fredguth]

Description

(I am sorry I repeated my request from #10440, I forgot I had already submitted)

I am creating a Quarto extension for Typst format where the citations are shown on the margin. For that, I need to be able to allow the user to specify a dy parameter to avoid colisions in the margin (see example in the image)

I imagine that in Quarto article.qmd the user will be able to add a place parameter in the citation with something like In @Tufte2001[7em] specifying that the citation should be placed 7em bellow.

In Typst, I tried to overload the citation with show cite: margincite where margincite is a function of mine. I noticed that the argument passed then is already a citation object with the supplement inside. I need the parameters of the citation as string not content.

Any idea on how can I change citation in a format Typst? I looked on all partial files and couldn't find. I also couldn't find a include-before or after that seems to be in the template.

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? The goal is to make it as easy as possible for us to recreate your problem so that we can fix it: please help us help you! Thanks.

---

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

R	Python
````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code blocks (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

I did create also an issue didn't I. Sorry. I sometimes forget that I have already asked in a place and ask in another.

Here is the (non) working example.

I hope it is more easy to understand. The problem is that I need to handle each parameter of citation and I receive in Typst a citation content already.
