I had once a working prototype for a charstyle editor based on "picking" a
combination of font attributes on-screen -- i.e., the combination existing
at the cursor location -- and converting it to a charstyle. Which could be
saved in the LyX document. It worked through the minibuffer
("create-charstyle mystyle"), but a GUI would not be hard to do after that.
