bibliographystyleciting
LaTeX can create citations in [number] format. However, I would need the format (author, year). And with the same cross-reference function as in the original numeric format. At the same time, I would like to use only the \begin{thebibliography} command, i.e. not use BibTeX and some other .bib file, but just write the literature manually via \bibitem. Is that possible?
Thanks for the answers and sorry if the question is already answered somewhere, I didn't find it.
Using a modified tufte-common.def file you can create tufte-latex documents with biblatex. A limitation is that tufte-latex modifies footnotes. So biblatex features such as \smartcite inside footnotes and footnote detection with \iffootnote may not work as intended. Most of this has already been covered in another post.
As for the citation style, you can get most of the way there with some edits to the textcite bibliography macro and \smartcite. Both of these are defined in numeric.cbx.

One of the most prominent and distinctive features of this style is the
extensive use of sidenotes \autocites(See)()[10--15]{knuth:ct:a}[10]{companion}.
There is a wide margin to provide ample room for sidenotes and small figures
\autocite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b}. Any footnotes will automatically be converted to
sidenotes.\footnote{Results from \textcite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,companion} showed
that...}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Some notes:
autocite=footnote option setting makes \autocite use \smartcite as its backend citation command.\ifciteseen test needs citation tracking enabled. In the example global tracking is enabled via citetracker=true. Alternative settings are possible. Refer to the manual for details.\usedriver. The first argument to this command allows you to hook code in before printing. This is a good place to suppress fields with \clearfield and friends. In the example, I suppress the pages and pagetotal fields to avoid confusion with page references in postnotes.numeric, \textcite generates compact citation lists. This complicates printing full citations. The edits to textcite take an easy way out by simply replacing the labelname or labeltitle with the full citation.numeric style isn't particularly suited to this customization. Refer to the verbose style or any of its variants for some better alternatives.This answer has been updated in the light, particularly, of Audrey's perceptive comments.
Yes. There are a number of ways to do this.
The code below is a revision of my original suggestion, which (I hope) corrects various deficiencies in its general use. Specifically:
My original code didn't deal gracefully with empty years: this does.
My original code "hardwired" multind's syntax and your chosen index names: in this version the index names are in macros which means they can be changed.
My original code didn't make use of the indexsorttitle and indextitle fields: this does, as it should.
My original code could cause problems with certain macros (e.g. \TeX used in indextitles, as Audrey properly pointed out. This handles those properly, I hope.
On the example you gave, none of this changes anything -- but I've added two further example entries which the original version would have handled wrongly or stupidly, and this handles directly.
Oddly, \fullcite doesn't seem to call the indexing macros, which is why I've used \cite; I daresay there's an explanation for that, but I don't have time to dig into it.

An author who uses a title that indexing programs find hard to cope
with, but certainly no procrastinator.

An author so lazy that he cannot be bothered to put a year of publication.

(If you need to, you can coax biblatex to do very complex indexing: I've just completed the first version of a style which can produce many, many, indexes (more than 33!), and which indexes based not just on title fields, but uses postnotes to set sub-items. It's not thrilling to set up, but it's absolutely do-able as biblatex stands.)
Best Answer
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Absolutely.
Even longer answer: Give the following minimalist document a try. Observe the use of the optional argument of
\bibitemto store the citation call-out string and publication year. Compile the document twice to generate the citation call-outs correctly.You will, of course, still be in charge of everything related to bibliography: The ordering of the bib entries, the formatting of the bib entries, etc., etc.
