Following up on this [question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62028511/how-can-i-remove-the-labels-in-a-bibliography-list-with-biblatex), here is my question. How can I access each bibliographic item (from **References** section) so that I can put it inside `enumerate`?
Consider the minimal working example:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,maxbibnames=99,defernumbers=true,sorting=ydnt,giveninits=true,]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents*}{myreferences.bib}
@article{sponge1,
author = {Sponge Bob Squrepants},
year = {2000},
title = {No Title},
}
@article{sponge2,
author = {Sponge Bob Squrepants and
Patrick Star},
year = {2001},
title = {No Title Again},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{myreferences.bib}
\begin{document}
%%%%%%% Copied
% \defbibenvironment{bibliography}
% {\list
% {}
% {%
% \setlength{\labelwidth}{0pt}%
% \setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt}%
% \setlength{\labelsep}{0pt}%
% \addtolength{\leftmargin}{0pt}%
% \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
% \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}%
% \renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hss}}
% {\endlist}
% {\item}
%
\nocite{*}\printbibliography
\end{document}
```

The trick with `biblatex` is to let it do the work for you. So instead of trying to manually build the layout you want, I'd use an existing style and tweak things from there.
Version with bullet:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=alphabetic]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
{\list
{\textbullet}
{\setlength{\labelwidth}{1em}%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
\setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
\setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
\setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}%
\renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hss}}
{\endlist}
{\item}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
```

Version with year:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=alphabetic]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
{\list
{\printfield{year}}
{\setlength{\labelwidth}{2em}%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
\setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
\setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
\setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}%
\renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hss}}
{\endlist}
{\item}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
```
