Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of black raspberry's flavor molecules (196 of 200) are also found in lime, but lime has 103 that black raspberry lacks. Black raspberry gives you part of lime's character without most of its herbal side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
