Yes and both already offer fully functional _extensions_ to LibreOffice  :-)

That would be the framework to which I refer ;-)   

But we were not talking specifically about rewriting the Bibliographic
Component and not clear at all that alone is the best way to proceed in

Mendeley both hold the data external to the ODF document and depend on
fields and paragraph styles.
