There is no provision for printing the Source Number of a Citation in
reports (List of Sources and List of Citations reports
notwithstanding). This is not the usual way that most would want to
work. On the other hand, I can see that it might have some usefulness.

Still I suspect that when you are able to print all the reports available
for v5, those (not yet available) reports will provide as much or more
usefulness. I would suggest that you await the final update giving the
last reports for v5x and see if they don't do what you need. If you still
think your idea is worth pursuing, you can request that to be added as a
feature of a future version. If so, explain the concept a little more so
that others are sure to understand it and give your reasons for wanting the
change. Wholly Genes will very often add requests from users to later
upgrades. But in many cases, the changes are based on the number of
different users requesting a change.

Hope this helps -
