Update: After Ulrike's comments I see that I ask the impossible. I might later re-write the question but I need time to ask a better question.

  • I want to show some biblatex stuff in the PDF bookmarks which is a difficult thing to do.
  • Luckily, I found How can I make \citetitle work in a hyperref section bookmark? and tried the two proposed answers.
  • The idea of Heiko's answer is to store the result of a biblatex command and then reuse it in the \section etc. command. egreg's answer is good and I will use it for a smaller project but for a larger project, Heiko's solution would be beneficial.
  • I tried to do the same thing with \textcite but failed, see below.
  • Question: How to store the result of \textcite so that it can be reused in \section etc. and be also shown in the PDF bookmarks?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style = authoryear-comp]{biblatex}

% See https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/examples
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}


\usepackage{hyperref}


% https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73678
% This is my own (not working) creation based on Heiko's code.
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\myTextciteStore}[2]{%
  \begingroup
    \global\let\myTextciteStore@Result\relax
    \textcite{#2}%
  \endgroup
  \let#1\myTextciteStore@Result
}
\makeatother


\begin{document}
\section{\textcite{padhye}}


% Does not work, it prints the citation actually.
\myTextciteStore\myTemp{padhye}


\section{\myTemp}


\end{document}

    you can't. textcite is a too complex, noexpandable command. You can only extract the fields you need with the method described in the other posting and then build from is a faked version. Personally I think that if would be easier to write the names manually. How often do you have a cite in a sectioning heading? – Ulrike Fischer Feb 22 '22 at 08:43
  • @UlrikeFischer Ok, thanks for the reply. In my case, there are about 40 instances. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 22 '22 at 13:29
  • Maybe one can write the result in an aux file and read it back in the next compilation cycle? – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 22 '22 at 13:38

    writing requires expansion too. That is the same problem. – Ulrike Fischer Feb 22 '22 at 13:44
  • @UlrikeFischer hmmm, ok. The textcite command works at least in the section and in the toc correctly. Problem is the bookmarks onky. Therefore I thought that this is feasible. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 22 '22 at 13:46

    well look into the toc-file and see what it contains. – Ulrike Fischer Feb 22 '22 at 13:48
  • @UlrikeFischer will do later, it's 0545 in the morning for me right now and I need to get up :). – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 22 '22 at 13:51
  • @UlrikeFischer I see your point :) \contentsline {section}{\numberline {4.1}\textcite {Kelsch2012}: \citetitle {Kelsch2012}}{23}{section.4.1}% – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 22 '22 at 18:06

    The problem I have is that I'm not writing the citation commands manually so replacing them with the relevant details by hand isn't straightforward. I'm specifying a bibkey, but that is then doing a bunch of things which include, somewhere in the middle, writing the toc line. Pre-pandemic, I just didn't use hyperref ;). Mid-pandemic, I just let the bibkeys go into the bookmarks. So anything which improves on that is a plus. For me, that basically means \citeauthor and \citetitle. The former seems much more complex than the latter although I have a simplistic version. – cfr Mar 20 '22 at 05:58
