bibtex id

Is there any way to know the bibtex id for a given record without actually exporting the bibtex file. A copy to clipboard function would be nice to simplify citing from latex.

I understand that depending on how the ids are generated there might some collisions problems when they are exported out of context. However, this could be solved by using a better id generator.
