BibDesk Feature Idea:

A common request is to have ways of modifying the string that gets pasted when you cite something, i.e.: instead of \cite{}, \fullcite{}, etc. I included a standard preference to do this before, but that's not really flexible enough.

Here's what I really want:
A drawer, with a table that contains 'link' items, much like the bookmarks drawer in OmniWeb, except: they represent cite-strings. So when you drag n' drop them, they drop the appropriate citation for whatever references are selected in the browser. Double clicking one will copy the string to the clipboard.
