References are not rendering correctly in the template

[luifrancgom]

Description

I am using the template with the command quarto use template quarto-journals/elsevier where I can render the template but the two sample references, @Feynman1963118 and @Dirac1953888, are not rendering in the pdf file correctly

Actual result

Expected result or something similar

Possible problem and what I try

See Why do I get (author?) when I use \citet with natbib? on StackExchange

Also I was not able to render the document using the option natbiboptions with the following options:

format:
  elsevier-pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    natbiboptions: longnamesfirst
    journal:
      name: Journal Name
      formatting: preprint
      model: 3p
      cite-style: super

format:
  elsevier-pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    natbiboptions: 
      - longnamesfirst
      - angle
      - semicolon
    journal:
      name: Journal Name
      formatting: preprint
      model: 3p
      cite-style: super

format:
  elsevier-pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    natbiboptions: longnamesfirst,angle,semicolon
    journal:
      name: Journal Name
      formatting: preprint
      model: 3p
      cite-style: super

Or adding the biblio-style option:

biblio-style: model1-num-names
format:
  elsevier-pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    natbiboptions: longnamesfirst,angle,semicolon
    journal:
      name: Journal Name
      formatting: preprint
      model: 3p
      cite-style: super

      Another author footnote, this is a very long footnote and it should be a really long footnote. But this footnote is not yet sufficiently long enough to make two lines of footnote text.

Please make sure that your manuscript follows the guidelines in the 
Guide for Authors of the relevant journal. It is not necessary to 
typeset your manuscript in exactly the same way as an article, 
unless you are submitting to a camera-ready copy (CRC) journal.

For detailed instructions regarding the elsevier article class, see   <https://www.elsevier.com/authors/policies-and-guidelines/latex-instructions>

# Bibliography styles

Here are two sample references:  @Feynman1963118 @Dirac1953888.

By default, natbib will be used with the `authoryear` style, set in `classoption` variable in YAML. 
You can sets extra options with `natbiboptions` variable in YAML header. Example 

natbiboptions: longnamesfirst,angle,semicolon

There are various more specific bibliography styles available at
<https://support.stmdocs.in/wiki/index.php?title=Model-wise_bibliographic_style_files>. 
To use one of these, add it in the header using, for example, `biblio-style: model1-num-names`.

## Using CSL 

If `cite-method` is set to `citeproc` in `elsevier_article()`, then pandoc is used for citations instead of `natbib`. In this case, the `csl` option is used to format the references. By default, this template will provide an appropriate style, but alternative `csl` files are available from <https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=elsevier>. These can be downloaded
and stored locally, or the url can be used as in the example header.

# Equations

Here is an equation:
$$ 
  f_{X}(x) = \left(\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)
  \left(\frac{x}{\beta}\right)^{\alpha-1}
  e^{-\left(\frac{x}{\beta}\right)^{\alpha}}; 
  \alpha,\beta,x > 0 .
$$

Inline equations work as well: $\sum_{i = 2}^\infty\{\alpha_i^\beta\}$

# Figures and tables

@fig-meaningless is generated using an R chunk.

```{r}
#| label: fig-meaningless
#| fig-cap: A meaningless scatterplot
#| fig-width: 5
#| fig-height: 5
#| fig-align: center
#| out-width: 50%
#| echo: false
plot(runif(25), runif(25))

Tables coming from R

Tables can also be generated using R chunks, as shown in @tbl-simple example.

#| label: tbl-simple
#| tbl-cap: Caption centered above table
#| echo: true
knitr::kable(head(mtcars)[,1:4])

Sorry for posting this as an issue. I didn't understand initially the documentarion. Now I understand the problem in relation to the cite-style option and the super value.
