Different citation numbers for the same bib item, and list those numbers at the bib item

A journal asks for a "strange" style, which use different numbers at in-text citations for the same bibliography item, and list all those citation numbers at the bibliography item.

For example:

Some text [3,4] Some text [5-7] Some text [8,9]

where the numbers 3, 5, 8 are citing the same bibliography item, then the bibliography in the end of the document should show:

3 5 8 Tom, ......
4 Smith, ......
6 Jack, ......
7 Caroline, ......
9 Michael, ......


So: all in-text citations are continuous sequential numbers in the order of appearance, but the numbers in the bibliography list are not continuous, and some bib items have several numbers in front.

Can Zotero/CSL produce this kind of style?

Many thanks for any hints.
  • No, sorry. Either the styles use endnotes, so every item is numbered sequentially and citations are repated in the list of notes (potentially in a shortened form), or they are numeric and numbers are repeated for the same item.
