Another possibility is using links as suggested by Tom S. Dye.  These
do not suffer from the newline problem you encountered.  They do not
format nicely, though, if you have complicated cite-constructions.

Here's an example using biblatex syntax in LaTeX and a cite tag in
HTML:

(org-add-link-type
 "textcite" 'ramus/find-lit
 (lambda (path desc format)
   (cond
    ((eq format 'html)
     (format "(<cite>%s</cite>)" path))
    ((eq format 'odt)
     (format "%s" path))
    ((eq format 'latex)
     (if (or (not desc) (equal 0 (search "cite:" desc)))
         (format "\\textcite{%s}" path)
       (format "\\textcite[%s][%s]{%s}"
               (cadr (split-string desc ";"))
               (car (split-string desc ";"))  path))))))

where rasmus/find-lit opens the correct pdf from my local archive, if
possible.

You can add reftex support in a manner similar to the following:

(with-eval-after-load 'org
  (defun org-mode-reftex-setup ()
    ;; (load-library "reftex")
    (require 'reftex)
    (and (buffer-file-name)
         (file-exists-p (buffer-file-name))
         ;; (reftex-parse-all)
         )
    (make-local-variable 'reftex-cite-format)
    (setq reftex-cite-format 'org)
    (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c )") 'reftex-citation))
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-mode-reftex-setup))

(with-eval-after-load 'reftex
  (add-to-list 'reftex-cite-format-builtin
               '(org "Org-mode citation"
                     ((?m . "[[cite:%l]]")
                      (?t . "[[textcite:%l]]")
                      (?p . "[[parencite:%l]]")
                      (?s . "[[citepos:%l]]")
                      (?a . "[[citeauthor:%l]]")
                      (?y . "[[citeyear:%l]]")
                      (?l . "%l")))))
