Good idea. For an trivial example,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat bibtex.tmpl
@example{ {{name}}@{{version}},
title = {{name}},
url = {{home-page}},
license = {{license}},
abstract = {{synopsis}},
swhid = {swh:1:...},
repository = "WE HAVE THAT INFO",
author = "?????",
date = "?????",
}
$ guix show hello | recfmt -f bibtex.tmpl
@example{ hello@2.10,
title = hello,
url = 0.000000,
license = GPL 3+,
abstract = Hello, GNU world: An example GNU package ,
swhid = {swh:1:...},
repository = "WE HAVE THAT INFO",
author = "?????",
date = "?????",
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, 2 minor annoying comments:
1. SWHID is not computed by "guix show".
2. Typing the path to the template; aside recutils is not installed
by default, IIRC.
Well, #2 could be solved with something under ~/.config/guix/current/bin.
About #1, it requires some work and I am not convinced I would like
that Guix does it each time I call "guix show".

As much fields as possible. As the example above more or less. Well,
use bibtex-software as decribe here:
