Workflow for table of citations

SalishSea

I want to construct a table with N rows, where N is the number of citations in a sub-library - here about 200. For each row, I want to hand annotate the table to look (ideally) something like:

Reference First-Author Year A B C D E

where A - E are largely T/F items that I have to hand-evaluate.

This implies several things:

- Capture a bibliography into a table
- Hand-edit that table
- Ideally automatically populate the reference number, First author and year fields into that table.

I can see some ways to do this, but they are all a climb. Is there a simpler work-flow that I am missing?

Thanks,

To me this sounds like the easiest way would be to write a custom citation style that does what you want not in a table, with the different elements and the end of the line (i.e. the layout suffix) defined by rare characters - e.g. | and #.
Then use Word's/LO's "text to table" function and define the field and line delimiters as those characters.
