A function like this would be very useful to have! Thank you for
taking time to look at it. I'm currently using orgmode in emacs for
keeping track of all my day-to-day tasks, and use ebib to manage all
my references. The function I described would be like a glue between
orgmode and ebib which would simplify my life significantly. Also, I
believe several other users have asked similar questions on the
orgmode mailing list. So, I'm sure more than one person would benefit
from it.

Thanks again,
