There is no built-in support for this, but is is possible to do by
using the mail-merge facility in conjunction with an external utility
which keeps the reference lists and dumps them out in an appropriate
format. Two shareware packages that do this are Scholar's Aid and WordRef. 
Both should be available from the info-mac archives on sumex.stanford.edu,
as well as from other purveyors of fine p.d. ware.
