The data in the linked files fields is specific to BibDesk, so you would not be able to see them from any other app, on macOS or iOS. As for local file fields, its name and format may also change between apps. The problem is that the bibtex format simply does not have a standard way to link to files, so it is necessarily app specific. Christiaan
