Take a field in EndNote (the Note field for example, or any other field
that you are not using) and put the 4 letters author'sname and two last
digits of the year (BATC53) in this field.

Then create a new style for formatting your paper, and in the Citation
field, put the field name in bracket (like [Note]).  Then generate the
proper way to format your paper (for a Journal, Book, Book section, Edited
Book, etc...).  Then when you will format your paper, using this style, you
will have what you want:

[Batc53] in the text, and the complete reference in the reference list.
