..Booking 1. LHR to DUB on BA metal.
(3.5hrs in Dublin)
Booking 2. DUB to PHL then to SFO on AA metal.
As a point of ease, I did wonder/hope the bags could 'automatically' go from Booking 1 to Booking 2, in Dublin.... I still have a 3.5hr layover, so it's not a huge issue either way.!

Bags should auto transfer from the PHL flight to the SFO flight (like any domestic transfer)

The OP's question on through checking has already been answered, but given the phrasing of the question, I thought I would add that bookings can never be merged. That is just not possible. So through checking can occasionally be provided as an exception (even pro-actively at times) but separate bookings will not be merged into one, that will just not happen.
