Expanded -short, original-, reviewed- variables

Recently, in response to user needs for the SBL style, citeproc-js added support for providing -short versions of all CSL variables, to be rendered with form="short". (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/324592/#Comment_324592)

In my work on apa.csl, I’m finding that it wants a lot more detailed information for reviews (e.g., medium of item being reviewed, date of item being reviewed), as well as for original publication information (e.g., original medium, original container title, original pages, original editor) than is currently possible with existing CSL variables. As far as I am aware, MLA and Chicago have similar requirements.

I suggest that -short, original-, reviewed- should be expanded so that they can be applied to any CSL variable. This would allow maximum flexibility without having to individually specify each possible variable of this kind.

So it seems we should do this if if we can.

I’d suggest for now we just add two relations (“reviews” and “original”), that we can later expand, with a common “related” definition with this choise.

Supporting both systems is the approach we should take. This would open the door to three useful features that CSL currently lacks:

1. Citations of reviews, etc. being discussed here
2. Parallel legal citation ala CSLm (currently that has to be manually formatted the references variable)
3. Support for styles like Annual Reviews, where container information is only given once if multiple items share the same container.
