I do want something better than that!
Here is a sketch of the popup I want:
+-----------------------------------------------------+
| (1) (2) (3) (4) |
| +--------+ +---+ +-----------+ +----------------+ |
| | ABC | |<- | |ABC | |@Article{ABC, | |
| +--------+ +---+ |CD89 | | author = {... | |
| +--------+ +---+ |BKK | | title = {... | |
| | DEH | |<- | |DEH | |... | |
| +--------+ +---+ |D95 | |} | |
| +--------+ +---+ |... | | | |
| | | |<- | | | | | |
| +--------+ +---+ | | | | |
| +--------+ +---+ | | | | |
| | | |<- | | | | | |

(1) is a series of input widgets, allowing you to manually enter keys
(one key per widget).
(3) is a browser containing the keys from your bib file.
Pressing a (2) button, will copy the selected line from (3) to the
corresponding input widget.
(4) shows you details on the selected line from (3).
There should also be an option of limiting the display in (3) using various
criterions (e.g., all the articles from 1998).
