I'd start by looking at the source code for the "Description" environment. That environment bolds only the first *word*. So instead of bolding until a space, you could bold to a period, although heaven help you if you have to use an abbreviation in the sentence. Anyway, given the existence of Description, what you're describing has to be possible.
