You could use the new Paste and Merge feature. First copy the bibtex from the 
search result, then look for the existing item in your Library and select it, 
and choose Edit > Paste and Merge.

It is also possible to automate several of these steps in an AppleScript. You 
can search for an item using e.g. pubmed based on information in a selected 
item, and then merge the result with that selected item using the ‘import’ 
command.
