LaTeX and Bibtex: command to print a single full reference from a bib file?

latex bibtex bibliography

I'd like to be able to print a single reference from a Bibtex .bib file anywhere in my LaTeX document -- not cite it, but print the reference, exactly as it would appear in the normal bibliography listing.

So if this is a regular citation, that prints a bracketed reference:

% Normal citation, appears as bracketed reference, e.g. [2]
\cite{Kawahara:2007p1116}

I want something like the following:

\print_citation{Kawahara:2007p1116}

which should print the full citation as it appears in the bibliography, something like:

[2] S Kawahara. Half rhymes in japanese rap lyrics and knowledge of similarity. Journal of East Asian Linguistics, Jan 2007.

Possible? Thanks!

Use \fullcite with the biblatex package as mentioned in this answer on tex.stackexchange.
