bibliography with exact citation form

Question

Using biblatex with author-year style, I need a bibliography which outputs not only the normal bibliography entry, but the short citation form like from \cite as well, seperated by a colon:

The example above is simply made with

\cite{96}:
\printbibliography[heading=none]

but of course I can't do this for every single entry of my bibliography, and there should be no linebreak behind the colon. How can I achieve this with biblatex?

MWE

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@book{3,
 editor = {Ball, M.},
 title = {The Celtic Languages},
 publisher = {Routledge},
 location = {London},
 date = {1993},}
@book{5,
 author = {Borooah, A.},
 title = {English-Sanskrit Dictionary},
 publisher = {Publication board},
 location = {Assam},
 date = {1971},}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear,useprefix=true,dashed=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\begin{document}
I need the bibliography to look like this (but with the author's surname first after the colon):

\cite{3}: \fullcite{3}

\cite{5}: \fullcite{5}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Something like in Adding an [AuthorYear] block at the beginning of bibliography entries? We could attempt a more specific answer if you could give us an MWE to play round with. (Are you using style=authoryear or something more fancy, do you have any other modifications to your biblatex setup that could be relevant etc. etc.) — moewe, Oct 28 '16 at 09:26
@moewe I tried this, but it outputs a different version of the bibliography entry and of course I can't use this to output a list of entries. However, \cite{foo1}: \fullcite{foo1}\newline\cite{foo2}: \fullcite{foo2}\newline … is the best I got so far… — dessert, Oct 28 '16 at 09:31
Sorry, I think I misread your question when I suggested \fullcite. Can you check my edited first comment again? Does the linked question help? — moewe, Oct 28 '16 at 09:46

I solved it with the help of moewe's comment and 11827 by adding:

\renewbibmacro*{begentry}{%
  \printtext{%
    \begingroup%
    \printnames{labelname}%
    \setunit{\nameyeardelim}%
    \usebibmacro{cite:labelyear+extrayear}%
    \endgroup%
    }%
  \addcolon\space%
}

Thanks for your help!

Try this (of course you have to refine the \ifnameundef if you have other cases):

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@book{3,
 editor = {Ball, M.},
 title = {The Celtic Languages},
 publisher = {Routledge},
 location = {London},
 date = {1993},}
@book{5,
 author = {Borooah, A.},
 title = {English-Sanskrit Dictionary},
 publisher = {Publication board},
 location = {Assam},
 date = {1971},}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear,useprefix=true,dashed=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}

\AtEveryBibitem{\vspace{10pt}
    \ifnameundef{author}
    {\printnames{editor}}
    {\printnames{author}}%
    \addspace    \printfield{year}: \item}

\begin{document}
I need the bibliography to look like this (but with the author's surname first after the colon):

\cite{3}: \fullcite{3}

\cite{5}: \fullcite{5}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thank you, but this does not solve the problem correctly: I needed it to output the exact citation form, which prints just the author's surname and can include disambiguation letters. I solved it using 11827 now. — dessert, Oct 28 '16 at 11:54
@dessert OK, I'm glad you've already solved your problem. I leave my answer as a possible alternative, even if the correct way is the one moewe showed you. — CarLaTeX, Oct 28 '16 at 12:04
