I tried the latest nightly, and now I see that one works, while another doesn't. I looked at them and they seem reasonably similar (ie they both have \citation{citekey} in them. Christiaan asked for examples, so I'll send both to him (offlist). The drop zone is the publications table, but not a specific one (make the whole table show blue, like adding a PDF to get a new publication, rather than adding it to an existing publication).
I wonder if the same could be done with the .tex file (ie look for \cite, \citep, \citet and parse the citekeys). I do think a menu option (near Select Duplicates in the Database menu) might help to advertise this feature.
