Sorry to revive an old thread, but this has bothered me as well and I wrote a sed line to produce an aux file compatible with BibDesk:
sed -E -n 's/^.*<bcf:citekey[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/bcf:citekey>\s*/\\citation{\1}/p' myfile.bcf > myfile.bcf.aux Dragging the output file onto BibDesk highlights citations contained within.
