The optional argument of \cite
& friends is mostly used for page numbers, but references to chapters/sections, paragraphs, verses etc. are not unheard of. Assuming that a declaration like "Proposition 3.iii" will refer to a unique location in your source, there's nothing wrong in using \cite[Proposition~3.iii]{<source>}
. (One may still add the page number, too.)
Note that the biblatex
package will automatically detect if the optional argument of a citation command contains only numbers and will by default automatically add a page prefix in this case. One may also manually add such a prefix using the \pno
(for singular) or \ppno
(for plural) macros. See section 3.12.3 of the manual for details.

With biblatex
I use manual
:
@manual{nxp:tja1043,
organization = "NXP Semiconductors",
title = "High-speed CAN transceiver",
number = "TJA1043",
year = 2013,
month = 4,
note = "Rev. 3"
}
@manual{infineon:TLE4473GV55-2,
organization = "Infineon Technologies AG",
title = "Dual Low Dropout Voltage Regulator",
number = "TLE 4473 GV55-2",
year = 2008,
month = 10,
note = "Rev. 1.2"
}
@manual{freescale:33879A,
organization = "Freescale Semiconductor",
title = "Configurable Octal Serial Switch

year = 2012,
month = 6,
number = "MC33879",
note = "Rev. 10.0"

Best Answer
Since this reference does not belong to any of the typical types of bibliography entries, and since it has an online link, it is good to sort it under
online
.
