You can do this by changing the Default format for copying and  
dragging to use a template (in the Citation prefs pane).  You'll have  
to modify one of the default templates accordingly, preferably one you  
don't use for something else (I chose .doc as a test).

Edit the Default Doc template in the Template pref pane in TextEdit to  
contain only

<$publications>
{<$firstAuthor.name/>:<$citeKey/>}
</$publications>

(this is the main page template for the .doc file type).  See the  
template help for more details.
