There absolutely MUST be a LaTeX command to do so. I am sure of it,  
although I don't know how to do it.

You'll have to define your own command for it and then:
  {\mycommand <?lsmb description ?>}

Ask on comp.text.tex <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/>  
- I am sure you'll get a helpful reply.
