You can get much of this functionality from bibstuff.

But your post is a reminder:
As things stand, restructured text does not support
citations with instance specific data (e.g., page number).
It would be great to add a discussion of how to add data
that for now at least all writers feel free to ignore.

Here is one proposal: how about allowing braces-enclosed
arbitrary text at the end of the citation.
This is not actually ugly. Maybe it is
not too hard to modify DU to handle?  E.g.,

[imauthor-2011-jdu{page:55}]_ ...[imauthor-2011-jdu{page:99}]_

would generate only one citation (to imauthor-2011-jdu) but
the default would be to include those two distinct pieces of
text in the citation references.

Resolving this one issue would be a breakthrough for
citation handling.
