Hmmmm, no, but you're makink me realize that there probably is a way to
make it do all the operations I spelled out above? This is what it does
currently:
using terms from application "BibDesk"
on perform BibDesk action with publications thePubs for script hook
theScriptHook
repeat with thePub in thePubs
set thePub to contents of thePub
tell thePub
set thePath to quoted form of (get POSIX path
of linked file 1)
set thePath to do shell script "echo " &
thePath & "|sed -e
\"s|$HOME|~|\""
set value of field "Local-Url" to thePath
end tell
end repeat
end perform BibDesk action with publications
end using terms from

By dropping it from the Finder onto the "Drop Files Here" well. (So far
as I can tell, dropping a file onto the "Local-Url" field creates a link
to where it is, but no longer autofiles it as it used to in 1.3.12.)
Thanks again,
