I'm not quite sure what you mean by a literature list. Every Tellico file is 
independent, but multiple people could open it, if the images were shared.

No, there's no citation formatting available. I'd start playing with the 
zotero code at one point to try to figure something out, but I didn't make 
any progress. To use the "Cite in OpenOffice", Tellico has to be compiled 
with the OpenOffice.org SDK, I'm not sure if any packagers are doing this. 
But if it worked, you could use the citation formatting there. The only 
real alternative I can think of, is to export to bibtex and parse the bst 
or final tex file. That's a real hack, though. The "Copy to Clipboard" only 
copies the bibtex reference.

Again, it sounds like you'd have to go through bibtex somehow.

I'm sorry Tellico doesn't appear to be very useful for you.
