Oh good.

Let me revise then.

Rather than just completing the key, how about something like:

("title author date" . "key")

E.g. look up against the data, and return the key.

It's hard to remember keys if you have hundreds or thousands.

In bibtex-actions, I added some hidden data to the search string, including
the key, to ensure uniqueness.

For example, plug in a different completion table or function?

Makes sense.

I'm also wondering if some integration with pcomplete (M-/) is
