I think the following would work as an Address script:
tell application "BibDesk"
set the_pub to publication of front document
if the_pub is missing value then
tell front document
set the_pubs to its selection
if count the_pubs is 1 then
set the_pub to get item 1 of the_pubs
else
set the_name to its name
set the_url to file URL of its file
end if
end tell
end if
if the_pub is not missing value then
set the_name to title of the_pub
set the_url to export using text
"<$publications.@firstObject.bdskURL/>" for the_pub
end if
return "[" & the_name & "](" & the_url & ")"
end tell
