Using the Cached Information ​

It is common to take notes on academic reference meterial. To designate a node as the canonical node for a particular reference, we can use its unique citation key:

orgmode
* Probabilistic Robotics
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       51b7b82c-bbb4-4822-875a-ed548cffda10
:ROAM_REFS: @thrun2005probabilistic
:END:

or

orgmode
* Probabilistic Robotics
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       51b7b82c-bbb4-4822-875a-ed548cffda10
:ROAM_REFS: [cite:@thrun2005probabilistic]
:END:

for org-cite, or:

orgmode
* Probabilistic Robotics
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       51b7b82c-bbb4-4822-875a-ed548cffda10
:ROAM_REFS: cite:thrun2005probabilistic
:END:

for org-ref.

When another node has a citation for that key, we can see it using the Reflinks section of the Org-roam buffer.

Extension developers may be interested in retrieving the citations within their notes. This information can be found within the citation table of the Org-roam database.
