The IEEE reference style guide actually often works just like this, the entire reference is just a number in brackets in the text and then the details of the reference is in the bibliography at the end. For example

...a high correlation as shown in [5]... 



[5]     A.N. Author, P. Ostdoc, and O. Verworked "A paper about a thing" Department, University, City, etc.

Same for ACM. I think it’s good as it’s easier to read. But sometimes I still write names (e.g. as Mueller et al. points out, the color blue is actually red [666]), to highlight something. But that’s maybe for 5 out of 100 sources.

This is the citation format that makes the most sense to me, especially now that you can just click [5] and be brought straight to the bibliography.
