References, in-text citations and bibliography

[Intuos5]

Could references, in-text citations and bibliography features be added for Publisher? I would love to be able to create text boxes where you put all of the sources you have used in with specific formatting (e.g. APA, MLA) and have the text box auto-sort the references alphabetically.

Later on, when I want to reference the source in text, it would be cool if there was an auto-complete feature where if you hit a hotkey and start typing the title of the book or author name, Affinity searches for the reference and places it in the text as a cross-reference of some sort. I think it would be good to use cross-references for this, because that will allow you to make specific formats (e.g. just a [1], [2] or [Author name, date], (Author name, date, page number).

If this could be part of Publisher, it would save a lot of time and might attract people who use dedicated referencing/ bibliography software.

Cross-references are planned to be part of 2.2, which should soon be available in a beta test version.
