A few years ago I working with zbMath to create a better interface for our Citation Helper that will allow us better flexibility in formatting and creating links to references.
At the time, SE was happy for me to modify the existing script and reintegrate it, however, as this was not on the top of my to-do list, time had gone by and SE has put that project on hold from their end.
However, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't use this feature that is so much better, and with their blessing I'm releasing this as a userscript.
You can find all the details on the MathOverflow Meta post. And a direct link to the script can be found right here.
