Contextual Menu Services, which you can write with Automator. In my case it selects the text (e.g. arXiv number) of the paper I want to add to BibDesk and passes it to a "Run Bash script" Automator block, which in turn passes to my Python script. The python scripts calls BibDesk through apple script language in way that was working up to 1.7.4. Then it was broken in 1.7.5 and later fixed in the nightlies. The fix in the nightlies does not fix the problem when I feed the arXiv number through the Contextual Menu Services. These, instead, worked fine with all the previous versions up to 1.7.4. Let me know if I have not explained it well enough.
