​
Options

The Citation supports opening its destination in a new tab and can be placed on its own or inline within body text.

​
Open in New

Pass target="_blank" to open the citation in a new tab. That also renders a trailing external-link icon labeled “opens in a new tab” and sets rel="noopener noreferrer" unless you supply a rel. Omit target for on-page citations that scroll to a same-page sources list — the icon is omitted in that case.

​
Inline

Citations sit inline within body text, immediately after the claim they support.

​
Behavior

The Citation responds to hover and keyboard focus like any other link.

​
Visual States

Hover shifts the pill to the informative (blue) intent. Keyboard focus draws a ring around the whole pill.

​
Keyboard Interaction

Users can navigate and activate the Citation using standard keyboard controls.
