Partial While reference manager UI and CSL (Citation Style Language) styling are straightforward, deep, reliable bidirectional add-in integration with Microsoft Word and WPS Office requires specialized native/COM/Office-JS document model handling.
What it would actually take: Stack involves a desktop/web app (Electron/Tauri or web frontend) with a CSL processor (e.g., citeproc-js). The hard parts are the Word/WPS add-ins that must accurately inject and maintain bibliographic field codes and undo history across multi-language and complex documents without corrupting formatting, requiring specialized Office Add-in and COM API knowledge.
