You could just add a custom node by inserthing this piece of code at the end of the contents of the tikzpicture environment (and delete or comment out the other node which is replaced by this code):
\draw[black] (55:85pt) -- (55:115pt) arc (55:65:115pt)
node[draw, anchor=south east] {\tiny\cite{einstein,dirac,knuth-fa,knuthwebsite}};
Maybe it is possible to use the \arcarrow macro defined in this code to draw the connecting line, but I did not fully understand how it is supposed to work (mainly because I didn't take the time to sufficiently study it), so I just ignored it.
Full code (taken from the linked question):

%to avoid go over another box.
