First, for background: Applications must be both iCloud-aware and sandboxed in order to access iCloud's document store via the standard OS mechanism (and for a general-purpose app like BBEdit, sandboxing opens some big cans of worms :-). You can, however, 'cheat' a bit by making an alias to "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Mobile Documents/" (or any subfolder of same) and adding that alias to the sidebar, via which you can then access local copies of your iCloud-managed files.
