I'm not sure inset-modify is the correct LFUN for this, as you basically
create a new inset instead of modifying the current one.

It might be a useful feature, however I don't know whether we want 4
extra menu items. The menus are already horribly clumsy.

Dispatch a "break-paragraph", or call Text::breakParagraph.

Please send your patch as soon as possible, because then we can help you
in case you're on the wrong track

You add them to stdmenus.inc and stdcontext.inc.

This should work. What did you do ?
