I am not completely clear about the question. For one thing, the item you
mentions just has a booktitle field, so the crossref does not seem relevant for
it.
Are you talking about the tex preview? In that case this is a question about
bibtex, and the bibtex style you are using, not so much about BibDesk. In
BibDesk we just insert the value for a field from the cross reffed item in the
item that has a crossref field.
