Hi! In general, it is bibtex that creates the .bbl-file from the .bib-file based on the .bst-file. Hence, if APS do not ever want the URL in the reference, they should edit their .bst. However, I guess that they do sometimes want that content, not just for every reference (say that you cite an online resource). The same URL issue holds for the IEEE .bst as well, by the way, that is where I have the issue. Regarding DOIs I feel that it makes more sense to remove it from the .bst completely as I can not imagine any case where you want to provide the DOI on an entry to entry basis.
I know that some people have used a script to rename the url key to something else before running bibtex, and, hence, keeping one original .bib and one for production use. Something similar should be possible to implement in JabRef "Save without URLs and DOIs" (which could be configurable to state which entry types should contain an URL and which that shouldn't), but it is not really obvious what the "best" solution would be as, which you say, it is still quite nice to have the URL and DOI in your .bib-file. An alternative solution to the entry type configuration, and, hence, much easier to implement, would be to add the url in the comment tag for those entries where the url is required and not save the url field. To conclude, I understand and share your problem but as far as I know there is no solution for it in JabRef at the moment and it is really not obvious how to include it in the best way.
