Oracle rowid column = mysql ??

Perhaps this belongs to the SQL thread but I want to do something similiar to what I have done in Oracle.

I have a row that I want to duplicate by selecting it and then inserting into the same table.
In Oracle I can then select info along with rowid, then using the rowid update only the new record.

Does mysql support anything like that?

Example:

insert into tablex select * From tablex where somfield = 'a';
select rowid, somfield from tablex where somfield = 'a"; < returns 2 rows
update tablex set somfield = 'b' where rowid = 'XXXXXX'; < updates only the new record

Thanks.
