Jed, I currently use JabRef for my bibliography, and one of the tabs in the panel gives access to the complete BibTex entry ~ including abstract and any other info I may have added (such as keywords, cross references).
If you do intend to work on your plugin in the future, I will be happy to help test is out. I can be both a bit of a nerd, and rather stupid ~ occasionally simultaneously ;) ~ this means I have a the inability of a complete newb (such as how to install stuff or call a macro), but an idea of how to troubleshoot. If you do think to make some advances on your plugin here is what I think it may be missing. import from bibtex format - most bibliography software has an option to export the info into a single bibtex file (or .bib), JabRef gives other options for HTML tabular output, or XML also. In fact with my current project I may need to work on an XML to Json converter... I don't know how easyily I could write this in js ?? I guess I could have a bash at it ! Referencing method This could probably use a macro with some form of transclusion. What would work really well would be placing all the references in their own sepratare tiddlers (as you do now) and having them in a tab on the side bar (bit like a TOC), and a copy of the required macro call to use as the reference (this part I may be able to do ?).
