How can I cite one ref in another reference?

Question

I would like to know how can I make a citation like this:

(autor1, 2000 in autor2, 2010)

Is it possible in LaTeX without changing the format of all other citations?

Do you want this format? You can use an option to the reference using \cite[\cite{...}]{...} — Sigur, Mar 30 '13 at 00:05
That options is not what Im looking for... there are no other way? — Ibau, Mar 30 '13 at 00:40
I had a similar question biblatex: Handling secondary (“quoted in”) citations some time ago. The answer shows how to handle these quotes with biblatex. — Tobi, Mar 30 '13 at 09:14

If you are using natbib, to get the exact format you described, you can use \citetext and \citealp:

\begin{filecontents*}{xyzbiblio.bib}
@article{greenwade93, 
    author = "George D. Greenwade",
    title = "The {C}omprehensive {TeX} {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
    year = "1993",
    journal = "TUGBoat",
    volume = "14",
    number = "3",
    pages = "342--351",
    url=" www.ctan.org"
}

@book{knuth79,
    author = "Donald E. Knuth",
    title = "{TeX} and Metafont, New Directions in Typesetting",
    year = "1979",
    publisher = "American Mathematical Society and Digital Press",
    address = "Stanford"
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}

\citetext{\citealp{greenwade93} in \citealp{knuth79}}

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{xyzbiblio}

\end{document}
