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.
