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?
