Is there a way to use a bibliography entry as a footnote?

Thanks to everyone who replied. A fascinating exchange!. I tried Zotero in
the past and did not, for reasons I do not remember, find it suitable. One of
you was correct in saying that what I was looking for was a way to include a
bib entry as a note. It is possible by way of crossreferencing the footnote
to a bookmarked bib entry; but then it is erased when the bib is updated. My
current solution is to convert the bib to static text, bookmark the "bib"
entry then crossreference it in the footnote. Awkward because now I must use
the static text as my bib and thereby have lost the auto formating, i.ie
italics etc.

Thanks for your help. Perhaps I will give zotero another shot.
