I personally keep my references as org headings. Because org has a
feature to attach files to a heading, I do not need to worry about where
the file is located while I can find the associated heading.

I am not familiar with deft/zetteldeft, but can't you just have two
directories - one with notes and one with references? Then, deft can
search in one or other directory according to your choice.
