Hi Lutz,
Try a simple shell script or Perl script that opens the html
file in BlueGriffin, saved to your BBEdit scripts folder, with
an assigned key combination.
Reply to this list if this would be foreign territory for you;
some experienced guides inhabit this space (but I didn't want to
presume you'd need that).

I am in the process of replacing Dreamweaver for web site

expect anything else :-) … more about this below * if you are interested.
Call me a wimp, but I'd like to use a WYSIWYG editor for
creating the *content* of the web pages (as opposed to the
structure and control code for which I gratefully accept the
BBEdit editor), so I'd like to have an "Open with …" command
in the BBEdit project view to edit the HTML (and possible CSS)
pages with BlueGriffon. The obvious workaround is to use the
"Open in Finder" command after assigning the HTML and CSS file
types to BlueGriffon. Is there another way?
Grateful for any ideas and opinions - Lutz
* If you are interested, here is how I will migrate: The thing
that really made DW very useful for me was the complete site
management, most of all the use of Templates and Components. DW
templates define editable regions in document templates; you
*cannot* change the content of non-editable parts of the doc
inside DW, you need to change and re-apply the template to
change them. Well, ecxcept the enforcement of not touching the
"template" parts of the doc BBEdit can achieve the same, and in
some ways even better, by turning the principle upside down:
Everything is editable, but I will include the constant,
"template" parts as persistent includes and replace them with
the "prescribed" content on upload (by project settings). That,
plus variables/placeholders, plus "simple" includes, actually
make BBEdit much more flexible than DW. So far it is just an
idea, or let's say a plan, but I am certain it will work. The
functionality of BBEdit in that respect is simply amazing (and
I am not even talking about scripted includes … no limit
except your imagination if you use these).
