Citeproc: prevent cited item from appearing in bibliography

[p3palazzo]

I am wondering if there is a Citeproc command that prevents an item from showing up in the bibliography. My use case is that I am citing several volumes of a series and only want to output the reference to the series as a whole in the bibliography (which I do via the nocite command), not each volume as a separate entry.

Now, why don't I cite the series and insert the volume number manually alsongside the page number, you might ask. Well, different citation styles have different ways of formatting volume numbers, so I would have to edit each citation manually when I change citation styles.

I don't think there is a way to do this...

You could use a Lua filter, applied AFTER citeproc, that just removes the item with that identifier from the formatted bibliography.

I use a preprocessor where I can hide citations that begin with #. For example, [#@Smith2019tdv]. I hope one day see commented citations in addition to locator only ones.
