Although I haven't tested it, it should be possible to use the regular
LaTeX tag by defining the start of a citation as "\\cite{" and the end
as "}". In Applescript a single backslash is an escape character, so
you use two to denote an actual backslash.
However, that means that any left-facing brace will be picked up as a
potential end of a citation. If there's not a corresponding
\cite{ before it, that will produce a "malformed citation" error.
There are a couple of sentences in the documentation why I went this
route. If I'm not planning to use LaTeX, symmetrical delimiters like
[* and *] or left and right guillemets are easier on my eyes. And, as
a bonus, if you have unique start and end delimiters it's easier to
catch errors in citations. These are really easy to use in BibDesk by
assigning a simple template to the dragged references.
