I'm not sure what kind of support you're thinking of? Remember that
BibDesk is mostly a manager of citation information. So what kind of
support are you thinking of? Note I know next to nothing about the
workflow for glossaries. One thing I could imagine BibDesk could do is
to maintain information of the glossary entries in items of a new
'glossary' type. Then you can write a template for a glossary entry,
which you can then use to copy or drag into your tex file. This can
already be done. Is this what you want?
