Context-sensitive Citation Options (Biblio > Formats Manager)

[LucCogZest]

I have a paper that needs APA style . as such, sometimes I want my citations to look like this in the output:

Author (Year)

other times I want:

(Author, Year).

Biblio > Formats Manager> Citation Options > has "Enclose citations with" with a single field, forcing a specific choice throughout the document. But I need either/or depending on context. Am I right that there's no way to do that? I would have expected to be able to use a symbol in the source document, such as "!" in the citation, like {!Author, 1996, #907} to give me "Author (1996)" instead of "(Author, Year)"

Thanks.

From p.270 of the user manual:

You may want to mention the authors’ names in front of the citation, for example …Oscar et al. (2011).

You can tell Bookends to do this by placing a caret immediately after the opening delimiter of the in-text citation. For example,

{^Oscar, Jones, and Peyton, 2011, #32345}

If you use Bookend's very cool floating citation picker ([ctrl][ctrl]), the modifiers are all detailed:
