I am using the package biblatex-chicago
with option authordate
for citations.
Some of the authors and works that I cite are part of the structure of sentences, so I cannot use straightforward commands like \textcite
and the like.
However, I still want the year to be displayed in round brackets and hyperlinked to the bibliography. My solution would be to cite the author or work with either \citeauthor
or \citetitle
in the appropriate place within the sentence, and then put a \cite*
command inside round brackets to get the desired effect.
This usually works fine, but things get complicated when bibliographic entries have an additional origdate
field, as this is printed in round brackets too instead of square brackets.
In short, what I'd need is a hypothetical “parenciteyear
” command that takes round brackets into account and behaves accordingly.
\parencite*
(not tested for lack of MWE and laziness on my part)?
