Indeed, this is about what cb2Bib does, to a good extent, depending on the
nature of the reference.  A simple text reference, like

 S J Hickson. On the Sexual Cells and the Early Stages in the Development of
Millepora plicata. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of
London. B 179, 193 - 204 (1888).

may not completely be resolved (not sure in this case): the template on
cb2Bib will be partially filled in, and it may require a couple of quick
steps to complete the template and save.  Unplugging, one may then enter the
abstract or other fields, then save.

The case for cb2Bib is somewhat different, as once the template is filled
in, one may save it to .bib file, and one may select which file.  If one
were able to use a pipe, xclip, or a fifo file, perhaps this could be made
immediately available to org-bibtex-read.
