--- Comment #10 from Pedro <vermelhusco1904 at gmail.com> ---
There are two reference managers that could be promoted by LibreOffice as
reference managers by integrating them. Only one of them is open-source.
I am excluding Jabref because that one mostly focuses on LaTex text editing and
not document editing software like Writer and Word.
Most other reference managers are outdated and with no development for a few
years.

The two reference managers are Zotero and Mendeley. Mendeley was acquired by
Elsevier and is closed source. I would be very against integrating it, since as
an academic I very much disapprove Elsevier's business model.

That leaves Zotero. There's also an examplo of Zotero having integrated their
extension in word editing software. Namely in Softmaker's Office Textmaker. I
believe that for previous compatibility sake they left the old bibliographic
reference management system on Textmaker.

However, according to this topic in Zotero forum:
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/89804/softmaker-office-cannot-modify-citations

The integration of the Zotero addon by default was done exlcusively by
Softmaker's devs. I doubt any help will come from Zotero developers if such an
option was followed.
