Another use for this just occurred to me: If, for example, somebody who uses 
LaTeX is collecting their notes or writing sections of their document in a 
rich-text application like DevonTHINK, Journler, MacJournal, Scrivener, 
VoodooPad, etc., then he or she could use this technique to paste \cite 
commands 
that are also live x-bdsk hyperlinks. I know one can use the "Show Reference 
with Cite Key" service to open a publication's editing window from any \cite 
command, but this would allow one to click on the \cite command to select the 
publication as well.

Can't you copy that via the Edit->Copy As menu?  AFAICT that puts a URL object 
on the pasteboard, so I assumed (possibly incorrectly) that it would appear as 
a 
clickable link in an rich text editor.

If this is why you can't use the default copying, then I think your solution is 
necessary, and nicely done.  It might be easier to use PyObjC to convert the 
citekey to an RTF link, but that's not part of the system on 10.4.
