I would at least investigate using reference manager software, and cross-linking to DTP using Indexing or something similar. I’m partial to Bookends which is very Mac-supportive, and has at least some support in DT. See for example Integration of DTP3 with Bookends Of course there are many (dozens) of other reference manager programs. (Please: don’t use EndNote! It’s a nightmare for Mac and has been for 20 years.)
Of course the value of ref. software depends on what you are going to do. But they are smart about things like locating articles online, finding related articles., and of course creating formatted bibliographies for export. And they “understand” many categories of information without you having to write any special scripts.
