Here's my understanding of it, in TMG terms: ibid. is the whole citation
with the same CD, but op. cit. is the same citation but with a different CD.
So you could say, for example, op. cit., p 46. It has to be the most recent
citation, so your reader will know which op. (work) you are referring to. I
don't think TMG can do op. cit., but that doesn't bother me. To me there's
not much of a drawback in having it spell out the whole citation if the CD
is different.
