i'm not sure what exactly you have in mind.
- ditching the whole external material stuff? what will be done with non
graphics templates?

in distinguishing these in the sense that for external material we need some

3rd party app, while the other we know internally (either by wt or by
imagemagick which

No, not ditching it completely. But some external templates are really
graphic formats and it's confusing to have them appear elsewhere. Also,
chunks of the user interface are similar and could be merged.
See this post by Tommaso:

For myself, I came to the same interpretation as Tommaso regarding the
differences between external template and graphics, namely that in one
case LyX creates only latex code to be processed by latex, and in the
other case LyX generates an image in the correct format for includegraphics.
The idea that you bring forward to distinguish these two, internal vs.
3rd party, is new to me. I must say that as a user I did not understand
this distinction.
