Thinking about this a little more, I think what we could do is make all the
steps to reproduce the drop behavior possible. What we could do is to extent
the "import" command a little bit by allowing something like "import with
theFile", which creates a new pub with an attached file the way dropping would
do (including reading meta data when that is turned on.)
Then dropping would be roughly equivalent to the following applescript:
tell application "BibDesk"
tell document 1
set newPubs to import from theFile
if count of newPubs is 0 then
set newPubs to import with theFile
end if
select newPubs
end tell
end tell
