Aloha Alan,

IIUC, your immediate question has to do with making an in-text citation
look right in different output formats.  This can be accomplished with
the extended link syntax.  A basic setup that only includes LaTeX export
can be found here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-17-2

For the other export formats you'll need to add (eq format 'html) ...,
etc.

Of course, this just handles the in-text part for formats other than
LaTeX.  LaTeX uses bibtex or biblatex to compile the list of
references.  I don't know how to accomplish this in ODT.  For html, I
export from Org-mode to LaTeX, then use tex4ht to convert to html.  This
leverages the bibtex capabilities and yields nicely formatted
bibliographies in html.

hth,
Tom
