Doubt it. I suspect it’s fundamentally not possible in the spirit you intend it.

Reality is perfectly fine with deception and inaccuracy. For language to magically be self constraining enough to only make verified statements is… impossible.

Take a look at the new experimental AI mode in Google scholar, it's going in the right direction.

It might be true that a fundamental solution to this issue is not possible without a major breakthrough, but I'm sure you can get pretty far with better tooling that surfaces relevant sources, and that would make a huge difference.
