kind of, there is code to export it as a CITATION field in 
DocxAttributeOutput::EndField_Impl in 
sw/source/filter/ww8/docxattributeoutput.cxx.

the other option is, you could insert this with arbitrary content via 
the Fieldmark service, and since about version 7.3 this kind of works in 
the document model and can be stored as an ODF extension in addition to 
DOCX/RTF.

however there is currently no implementation of *expanding* the 
fieldmark, that is, there is no code to evaluate the fieldmark command 
and overwrite the fieldmark result.
