Where the reference name are created?

Howdy!
Where this kind of reference is created (function, path)? For eg.:
"... where he critiques the claims made by Michael Bellesiles regarding firearms history (Clayton2001 pages 300-302). In addition to his historical work, Cramer is also employed as a software engineer, indicating a diverse professional background (Clayton2001 pages 300-302)."

Clayton2001? Is there a way to print the filename instead of this kind of reference? For example

...firearms history (FoobarReport.pdf pages 300-302). In addition ....

Thanks in advance!

Hi @mikeninerbravog yes good question. The reference is created via:

1. An LLM citation_prompt asks for a MLA format citation
2. The output is parsed into a MLA parenthetical in-text citation style: https://github.com/Future-House/paper-qa/blob/v5.10.2/paperqa/docs.py#L296-L326

Currently we allow manipulation of the citation_prompt via Settings.parsing.citation_prompt/structured_citation_prompt, but we do not expose the citation processing logic. I made #820 as it's a reasonable thing to want to do.
