Default Hinge Question

I need a "specialty" hinge, for a kitchen cabinet door, but I can't
seem to find it.

The cabinet has a face frame with inset doors and what I consider to
be a standard mortised hinge. Because of the way these hinges work,
when the door is open 90 degrees, the thickness of the door blocks the
edge of the door opening. The door opening isn't fully clear until the
door gets to 180 degrees.

The ASCII art below shows approximately what it looks like from above
with the door open 90 degrees.

---------------|

hinge point-- *|----|

What I need is a replacement hinge that will swing the door completely
out of the opening when it is open 90 degrees.

I've looked at hinges in catalogs from Rockler, Lee Valley, Woodcraft,
and others without finding what I'm looking for. Can someone help me
in this search? Thanks.
