That's too bad.

I've read it top to bottom several times now =(

It's appreciated.

Perhaps, but you just gave me a great idea.

See I totally forgot that it's basically copying the values of the tags
directly into the bbl file which is already ConTeXt syntax, so all I
have to do is replace the value of the title tag with the url. Here is
what I did and it works marvellously:
@Misc{asymptotic_notation,
author = {Walker, Julienne},
month = {apr},
publisher = {Eternally Confuzzled},
title =
{\href{http://www.eternallyconfuzzled.com/arts/jsw_art_bigo.aspx}{Asymptotic
Notation}},
year = {2012}
}
I've defined \href as such:
\def\href#1#2{\useURL[#2][{#2}][][{#1}]\goto{\url[#2]}[url(#1)]}
It works great and this is what I see:
"Walker, Julienne (2012a). Asympt% otic Notation. Eternally Confuzzled."
But why the "% " string gets inserted in there I do not know?
