Searching for citation style with number AND name

Yukusoona
Dear forum,

does anybody know a citation style that is numeric (superscript) but also contains the name of the first author?

Example:
Houses are buildings.[1, Peter] They consist of concrete. [2, James] Eearthquakes can be bad for houses.[3, Roger] That is why we need good architects. [1, Peter]

References
1 Peter, ....., 2024
2 James, ......, 2023
3 Roger, ....., 2020

Thanks!

    Haven't seen anything like that before, but can probably achieved.
    What's this for?

    It's intended for my personal use. I have created my own data base with collected information and I would like to keep track of their sources (where do I have it from? who told me? etc.). It's mostly medical articles and books that I refer to. But in many cases I add persons to zotero as a source of information or it is simply "wikipedia". Anway, I use the citation style "Anesthesiology" and like it very much (superscript numbers and reference list at the end of my documents). While going through my own notes I would like to have at least the first name of the source next to the citation number because in most cases that gives me a good idea of what the reference is like. It's cumbersome to scroll down to the end of my word file to look up the reference and then go back to the text above. Alternatively, I would appreciate if moving the mouse over the citation number would trigger a tooltip with the citations (this would fix my problem, too). Editing the citation number, however, with zotero gives you the same information, that is true, but it takes a longer time and is prone to errors...
    Maybe it is not too difficult to alter the citation style "Anesthesiology" to achieve this goal? My life does not depend on this feature so I would not like to bother anybody too much. But I thought that maybe someone had an idea and could help right from the hip.
