Here’s a version with some additions to handle special cases more gracefully:
tell application "BibDesk"
if (count documents) is 0 then return missing value
set the_pub to publication of front window
tell front document
if the_pub is missing value or external of the_pub then
set the_pubs to its selection
if (count the_pubs) is 1 then
set the_pub to first item of the_pubs
end if
end if
if the_pub is missing value or external of the_pub then
set the_name to its name
set the_url to file URL of its file
else
set the_name to title of the_pub
set the_url to export using text
"<[email protected]/>" for the_pub
end if
end tell
return "[" & the_name & "](" & the_url & ")"
end tell
BTW, in the next release you could replace the long export line with
set the_url with item URL of the_pub
