does quicklatex support reference citation?

Hi, does quicklatex support reference citation?

[latexpage]
Here is a citation \cite{example}.

\begin{thebibliography}

\bibitem{example}
Robert C. Merton, On the Pricing of Corporate Debt: The Risk Structure of Interest Rates. \textit{Journal of Finance} 1974; \textbf{2}:449–470.

\end{thebibliography}

But it does not seem work. Did I miss anything?
