I am currently working on a layout for use the ABNT style with LyX (ABNT
stands for "Brazilian National Standards Organization").
To achieve this, I have three things to handle:
1. The document style (*.sty)
2. The bibliography style (*.bst)
3. The citation style (*.sty)
The first and second topics are easy, I can create a *.layout to handle my
*.sty file and LyX can directly use my *.bst file to generate the
bibliography.
The problem resides with the citation style because currently LyX only
supports natbib and jurabib.
I think it would be great if we allow the creation of other citation styles.
This way, when we add a citation LyX will know how to properly display them.
BTW, the citation style handler appear to be very hardcoded on LyX, which is
also far from ideal.

Diego,
Could you elaborate a bit more on which .sty file we're talking about,
and what is different in its usage versus e.g. natbib? For example,
would it use the \citet, \citep, etc. group of commands, or just plain
old \cite{}? Perhaps it uses its own specialized group of commands, in
which case yes, proper LyX will involve touching the code.
