You might look into the lentic package. It might be possible to view a bib
file in two views, one in Bibtex mode for the entries, and one in org-mode
for the comments. In the bibtex view, the org narrative would be in comment
form, and in the org view the bibtex entries would be in source blocks.
I have not used lentic extensively, and haven't had much luck lately using
it but it seems to be made for the kind of purpose you describe.
