Description

What features would you like to see added?

UI-level citation rendering for the Azure AI Search plugin—so that when the plugin returns citations, LibreChat displays them using the {% citation %} and {% docSummary %} UI components (similar to Bing/Perplexity).

More details

Embedding citations directly in plugin output (e.g., Markdown footnotes) works, but doesn’t trigger the UI’s native citation rendering unless the source is a supported built-in endpoint. According to an older discussion, citations from custom plugins get dropped because the schema only recognizes built-in sources

Adding full UI support would:

  • Eliminate the need for users to manually format citations.
  • Improve traceability and reduce hallucinations by clearly linking to sources.
