Just a simple button that creates an empty drawing copying a template from a folder (and opening an external editor on it) seems really the right way to go, it would solve your particular problem, it would leave you with the complete freedom to pick any already existing editor that you like, or just write a new one from scratch, if you prefer.
AFAIK, after the thread http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg154697.html there was no actual implementation of this feature, for creating quickly empty external files over which to invoke an external editor. In the current trunk, you can specify a non-existent external file in the Insert -> External Material... dialog, but when trying to externally edit you get a "non-existent file" error dialog. Is there anyone with a patch for this ? (i.e., a "create" button the Insert -> External Material... dialog). Guess #3205 is the corresponding Trac entry (#5726 seems related as well). Thanks, T.
