Using Visual Mode affordances in Source Mode

Hello everyone. I searched for similar questions and I found that it was asked before at least by two people here and here, unfortunately with no replies. Here's another attempt.

Is there a way to use the keyboard shortcuts and dialogues of RStudio's Visual mode (for example, Ctrl-Shift-F8 for citations) in Source mode and just get the proper tags in your text without having to go into Visual mode and have your document mangled by Pandoc?

No, currently there is no way to get at features such as Citations without using Visual Editor. There's an issue specifically requesting that (Citations) here: Request: also provide the insert-citation tool in source mode (it is só useful!) · Issue #7876 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub
