reStructuredText with Bibtex citations

[kovla]

I am sorry if this is somehow implemented, but I have searched thoroughly and was not able to find a solution.

While in Markdown one can cite e.g. an article by [@johndoe95], and use these tags to produce a bibliography during pandoc conversion, the similar option does not seem to exist for reST. This is very disappointing, since reST is more suitable for academic writing than MD, since it is converted with ease into LaTeX, PDF and now, with Pandoc, also to MS Word. Would it be possible to provide similar Bibtex functionality in reST?

Regards,

How does that make reST more suitable than MD, since pandoc converts
MD into the same formats?

Would it be possible to provide similar Bibtex
functionality in reST?

It's certainly possible, but I try to support only standard reST and
widely used extensions like Sphinx extensions. If the reST community
wanted to adopt pandoc markdown's syntax for citations, I'd gladly
add this to the parser.
