Refering to another page in a wiki article

I have made an extension for writing scientific papers, with support for 
references in bibtex format via extra
tags, one tag for refering to an external reference file (currently 
refering to a URL), a tag for putting references
in the text, and one for placing the reference section. This is set up 
as a tool for cooperation with my colleagues.

There are several resons that I don't want to use the Cite extension 
package, the most important being that it
interleaves the comments in the text which make it hard to reuse the 
biblography later, and because I and most I
work with use external tools using the bibtex or endnote format for 
handling references, which don't work with
inlined/interleaved comments.

Now I import the biblography via a URL, like <nowiki><bibtex 
src="http://www.somesite.com/biblo.bib"/></nowiki>.
This works, but I would really like to get the biblography from another 
wiki page on the same server. I can use the
URL-fetch method for that as well, but it would be a better idea to get 
it from within Mediawiki. I have not found any
wikipedia extensions that does that. How would you do that.
