Probably not ideal, when I doubt what I do is I add the new record anyway, sort by title, and if I find a duplicate then I merge details manually. If you generate citation keys automatically and you have added the reference before then when you try to add it again bibdesk would warn you that citation keys are duplicated. You could probably do this for any field via a script hook when adding a new publication to your library as well.
