[Tex/LaTex] biblatex custom reference

biblatex

I've been searching for a way to create "Custom References" with biblatex, but haven't found a solution to my problem. Among "normal sources" like Journal Articles, I need other references where I can put a custom sentence in it. Like "[3] This was performed by someone else".

Is there an option to do that?

 \documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage[refsection=chapter,style=chem-angew]{biblatex}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\begin{filecontents}{biblio.bib}

@article{entry1, 
    author = "George D. Greenwade",
    title = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
    year = "1993",
    journal = "TUGBoat",
    volume = "14",
    number = "3",
    pages = "342--351",
           url=" www.ctan.org"
}

\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{biblio.bib}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Test Chapter One}
\cite{entry1}
So far so good, now I need another reference that says 'This was performed by someone else'.
\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography]

\end{document}

The notes2bib seems to be what you are after, it provides a \bibnote command that places a note in the bibliography.

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=numeric,backend=biber,sorting=none]{biblatex} 
\usepackage{notes2bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
We cite something \cite{aksin} and now a note \bibnote{just a note}.

\printbibliography
\end{document}

As a matter of fact biblatex's notes2bib support seems to do something similar to what greyshade did in their answer.

Just use the shorthand field in your bib file. This field overrides the citation label in all standard biblatex styles. When data forming the citation label are missing you can use the fallback label field. Here's a sample document using the biblatex-examples.bib file from the documentation.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
\null\vfill
One of the entries by \citeauthor{kant:ku}  uses the shorthand ``KU'' \autocite{kant:ku,cms}.
The entry for \citetitle{cms} uses the label ``CMS''  \autocite{cms,kant:ku}.
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] BibLaTex custom style – header

You can often avoid modifying each individual bibliography driver by applying edits to the bibliography macros instead. In the standard styles the begentry bibiliography macro appears at the beginning of every driver. This is a good place to add the item "header".

Standard drivers typically print publishing information in the form <location>: <publisher>. For most entry types this order can be swapped by editing the publisher+location+date bibliography macro.

The rest of the problem is handled with edits to biblatex's delimiter/punctuation commands and name formats. Here's an example.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authortitle,firstinits,terseinits]{biblatex}

\renewbibmacro*{begentry}{%
  \renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\multinamedelim}%
  \renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addspace\slash\space}%
  \printtext[bold]{%
    \printnames{labelname}%
    \setunit*{\addspace}%
    \printfield{year}}%
  \setunit*{\par\nobreak}
  \renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addsemicolon\space}}

\renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
  \printlist{publisher}%
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
  \printlist{location}%
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

\renewcommand*{\labelnamepunct}{\addcolon\space}

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{companion,reese,wassenberg}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
