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.
