No, URLs are treated specially, similar to linked files. Since you can have any number of URLs linked to a pub, i.e. a 1:n relationship, you should not misuse a single field having only a 1:1 relationship to a pub or you risk encountering difficulties. Simply drag drop URLs to the right side panel to add an URL or select one there and press backspace to delete it, and you should be fine.
If you want to see what BibDesk is actually doing behind the scenes use a text editor to have a look at the bib file. To import URLs via a text file in BibTeX format, say from another application, you can use the field URL (only 1:1) and/or Bdsk-Url-1, Bdsk-Url-2, etc. (1:n) and then have the URL field converted as any other linked URL (if preference "Fields" is set accordingly, this happens automatically). Other than above it is recommended to use AppleScript when you wish to add/link, inspect or remove/unlink URLs. Find such scripts on my website (link Software).
