Tabular bibliography with 2 cols for @inbook, @article etc

Question

Is there a bibliography style for biblatex that arranges the data in columns, especially when the cited work is part of a larger entity? (Better than the following mockup that is.)

Mockup with many rows per entry

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{p{\parindent}*2{p{0.45\linewidth}}}
\multicolumn{2}{p{0.5\linewidth}}
     {Authors}        & Editors \\
    & Title. Subtitle & Booktitle \\
    & Chapter, Pages  & Series Volume. Issue \\
    &                 & Publisher, Place. Date, Edition \\
    & DOI etc.        & ISBN/ISSN etc. \\
    & \multicolumn{2}{p{\linewidth}}{Comment, Access Date etc.} \\ % shared data
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Mockup with 2 rows per entry

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{p{\parindent}*2{p{0.45\linewidth}}}
key & Authors: “Title. Subtitle” (Chapter, Pages). 
      DOI etc.
    & Editors: “Booktitle” (Series Volume, Issue). 
      Publisher, Place. Date, Edition. ISBN/ISSN etc. \\
    & \multicolumn{2}{p{\linewidth}}{Comment, Access Date etc.} \\ % shared data
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Mockup with 1 row per entry

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{p{\parindent}*2{p{0.45\linewidth}}}
key & Authors: “Title. Subtitle” (Chapter, Pages). 
      DOI etc. Comment, Access Date etc.
    & Editors: “Booktitle” (Series Volume, Issue). 
      Publisher, Place. Date, Edition. ISBN/ISSN etc. \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

If there is nothing like that, how would you do it? (Answers)

Why would you not do it? (Comments)

Update:

Since biblatex bibliographies are expected to be lists, some prerequisites must be met first. This seem to be solved, mostly at least, by @Audrey in an answer from 2012, which introduces \defbibtabular etc. I’m not sure how robust the code is regarding biblatex updates, because it uses \patchcmd.

In the style requested there, however, the author names appear in the first of two columns, everything else is put right of it, whereas my primary goal is to separate @article and @journal or @inbook and @book into 2 columns and, possibly, the citation key in a third.

Answer 1

I suppose that the MWE of my question Align/avoid numeration and labels in a custom biblatex format could be a starting point for your own styles. With the improvements suggested by Guido, the final source code was the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage[backend=biber, maxnames=99, sorting=none, hyperref=true]{biblatex}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}

@ARTICLE{mwe2012,
  author = {Smith, A. and Johnson, B. and Willians, C.},
  title = {The three most common surnames in the United States of America},
  journal = {Review of Useless Knowledge},
  year = {2012},
  volume = {8},
  number = {1},
  pages = {290--290}
}

@ARTICLE{mwe2011,
  author = {Miller, J. and Brown, D.},
  title = {Most used surnames in fake passports},
  journal = {Journal of Nosense Ranks},
  year = {2011},
  volume = {5},

  pmid = {1234567},

  \usebibmacro{begentry}%
\begin{tabular}{lp{0.75\textwidth}}     \\

\end{tabular}
\vspace{1em}

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[title=My example articles]
\end{document}

And the result is:
