Problem Description

I’m using OpenWebUI with a custom backend Tools class that emits citation data via an event emitter (the "citation" event). The citations are shown inline and also collected into a bottom list of sources.

I want to keep the inline citations clickable, but I don’t want the bottom aggregated list of sources to be shown.

Desired Solution you'd like

Is there a built-in way or configuration to disable the bottom source list while still showing inline clickable citations? Or at least only show the documents the model has actually referenced in its answer?
