Citing in IEEE style, images/diagrams/graphics need origin reference

edited 4 days ago
Found this statement "4. Check for citations in image captions. Zotero won't let you insert them [...]" in Zotero KB.

Here a set of LO Writer sub-documents. Citing has been working very fine - till today. Today I was about to decorate graphics/diagrams/similar with graphic origin reference. Document is required to present the origin of used all graphics present in document but created by 3rd party. Other document used as reference document regarding formatting and fulfillment of other formal requirements places the information regarding diagram origin in diagram caption line. Same way all my Writer subdocuments. It turns out however that it can't work this way (zotero kb). I use IEEE style of citation.

What is the possible, used in practice alternative way to present in document information about diagram origin if stuff gets cited the IEEE fashion?

As of time being following form is used (example)
Figure 3.5: Blah blah blah [7]
whereby [7] is used to communicate to document user the origin of diagram.

It is not feasible to fulfill kb point 5. Make sure your LibreOffice text style uses the same text style in the “Next Style” property. >>> This way document can't have desired/needed form. As of time being only citations are placed to a number of sub-documents. Later on the master document is about to house bibliography.

Citing in caption line works only if caption line uses Body Text paragraph style. However as mentioned previously a number of subdocuments have already numerous citations with no problems raising. Only citing in caption line is affected.
