In the context of biblatex its possible to bibstyle=reading, this will produce bibliography including abstract and annotation fields.

The annotation might come from a file named like bibannotation-TheBook2019.tex where TheBook2019 is the bib file entry key.

@bookTheBook2019,
 author = The Author,
 title = The Book Title

The annotation file bibannotation-TheBook2019.tex can contain latex formated text. One might then inputbibannotation-TheBook2019.tex somewhere in a document. And so might be appropriate to include a citation in the bibannotation-TheBook2019.tex. Is this case it willl be self citation, I mean that file will refer to the respective entry key:

citeTheBook2019

Since this information is in the file name. Can I automate it some way? So that I can just type something like:

citeSelfCite

And it will be converted to citeTheBook2019 grabbing the entry key from file name.

You can do this with a couple of helper functions.

KcFnMiinput saves the name of the key using filenametokey then inputs the file.

documentclassarticle
usepackagefilecontents
beginfilecontentsjobname.bib
@bookTheBook2019,
 author = The Author,
 title = The Book Title

endfilecontents
beginfilecontentsannotation-TheBook2019.tex
This file contains an annotation for verb|TheBook2019|. It's also possible to
cite it: citeselfcitekey.
endfilecontents
usepackagebiblatex
addbibresourcejobname.bib
deffilenametokey annotation-#1.tex#1
newcommandKcFnMiinput[1]%
 edefselfcitekeyfilenametokey #1%
 input#1
begindocument
KcFnMiinputannotation-TheBook2019.tex
printbibliography

  @KcFnMi It's not possible to use newcommand for filenametokey. It (essentially) uses the technique explained in tex.stackexchange.com/a/662/87678. You can modify the template however you want. Just use deffilenametokey bib/annotation-#1.tex#1 and then KcFnMiinputbib/annotation-TheBook2019.tex. (This isn't so easy to do in the MWE though, since filecontents can't output to a subdirectory without --shell-escape to create the subdirectory first if it doesn't exist.)
