Aloha Joost,

This works very nicely for me.  At first, I worked around the default by
entering a space and then deleting [ ] in the org-mode buffer.  Then, I
redefined my citation link types to parse a semi-colon separated list of
2 items corresponding to the prenote and postnote optional arguments to
the biblatex command.  In this version, entering just the ; separator is
equivalent to an link without a description, so I have a very convenient
path to any result I want.

BTW, the export capability of ebib is extremely handy in my work.  It
allows me to create a custom bib file as I work on a document.

Thanks again,
Tom
