Difficulty with cite feature in Hugo Academic

one other thing, the above code also opens the links in new tabs, which isn’t what I want for internal links of my site. Apologies for this going off the original topic into my ignorance of how links work.

I think that your best bet instead of creating these links in Markdown is to use a ref or relref shortcode.

Shortcodes

Also note that :

hrefTargetBlank

default: false
Blackfriday flag: HTML_HREF_TARGET_BLANK
Purpose: true opens external links absolute links in a new window or tab. While the target="_blank" attribute is typically used for external links, Blackfriday does that for all absolute links (ref). One needs to make note of this if they use absolute links throughout, for internal links too (for example, by setting canonifyURLs to true or via absURL ).

I see that I can just use …/…/, for example, to go up two subdirectories to get where I want. Perhaps that’s the best (only?) option.

Well you can use relative links to go up but if you reorganize at some point you will have to remove these relative references.

I honestly think that your issue has to do with content organization, have a look at Page Bundles.
