Relogging is necessary to register any changes to the Services menu;
however, there are a couple of other possibilities here:

if you have a macro utility such as Keyboard Maestro, you can add a
shortcut with it to invoke this item.

Alternatively, if you use Services often (or if, like me, you tend to
accidentally hit any of the predefined key combos :-), there's a utility
named "Service Scrubber"  which allows you to directly enable & disable
Service menu items and adjust their key equivalents.

In general:

To add content from outside BBEdit, you can invoke "Append Selection to
Scratchpad" from the Services menu, or use a global AppleScript(*).

To add content while you're in BBEdit, you can invoke this Services item,
use a global AppleScript(*), or just open the Scratchpad window and drag or
paste in the desired text. :-)


(*: You can invoke AppleScripts from the keyboard using either a macro
utility like Keyboard Maestro [above], or FastScripts:
