You're right. It has nothing to do with a bibtex style, it's determined by the latex \bibitem command. So it would not be set in a .bst but rather a .sty file. It starts a new item in a list, which always starts a new line. I'm pretty sure there's no latex style changing this.

Tried it but it didn't work.

This is what that part of the .bst file looks like at the moment.

FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{
  "\bibitem[{" write$
  label write$
  ")" make.full.names duplicate$ short.list =
     { pop$ }
     { * }
   if$
  "}]{" * write$
  cite$ write$
  "}" write$
  ""
  before.all 'output.state :=
}

I don't think such a style exists as a standatd style. But what you
could do is modify an existing style (.bst file), this change should
be pretty simple. For example, in several standard styles there is a
function "FUNCTION {output.bibitem}" which you could modify. Just
remove the $newline at the beginning or the end, I think that should
get what you want.
