There is a function in Mnemosyne called string_to_handle that compiles
Mnemosyne queries from strings. The function is depricated, unsupported
and broken, but you can search the mailing list archive for 
'string_to_handle' if you want to (fix it and) play with it.

For production code I would avoid Mnemosyne as far as possible, and 
give mnesia:select a try instead.
