--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Can you name a format that requires adding a space before/after the entry? 

In technical areas it's common to just use sequential numbers in square
brackets like

Lorem ipsum [1].

But the APA, for example, requires bibliographical entries to consist of
"(<authors name>, <year>)"; with a lot of exceptions. And there are many other
publication standards around.

Lorem ipsum (Foo, 2001)
Foo said, Lorem ipsum (2001)
Lorem ipsum (Foo & Bar, 2001)
Foo and Bar said, Lorem ipsum (2001)
Lorem ipsum (Foo et al., 2001) (Foo,Bar,Baz,Qux...)


So besides I asked for details above, I agree with more flexibility. The option
does not belong to the ToC dialog anyway, we have to create a separate dialog.
And I could imagine to use the same layout paradigm as for the ToC entries with
a couple of predefined tags (AN,CH,YE...) and the option to insert any
character(s) in between.

Ultimately this could be made a duplicate of bug 73275.
