Bibliography interface

Hi,

I'm working on a program for managing collections of documents and
generating bibliographies. Currently, it only supports BibTeX output --
I'd like to support AbiWord if it's feasible. Can anyone give me an
idea of how to go about this?

I basically need to know how to:
     1. Dump the whole database in a format that abiword understands
              * Will abiword automatically only show the cited documents
                even if I give it everything, the way BibTeX behaves, or
                will I have to selectively output only entries that
                should appear?
              * Does this involve outputting bibliographic information
                and letting AbiWord handle the formatting, or do I have
                to output formatted text?
     2. Insert a particular citation into an abiword document, when a
        user drags a document from my application into their abiword
        session.
              * If this isn't possible already it should be relatively
                simple to add assuming that AbiWord already implements
                citing items by some kind of labelling scheme, right?
                
                
Cheers,
John
