It is not possible, at least not for jurabib and natbib. Look at the code that parses the citation commands in tex2lyx, and you'll understand why. It needs to parse stuff like \jurarbibsetup, options like natbiborder and jurabiborder, handle different jurabib.sty versions etc. The code is ugly, but it understands all jurabib and natbib citation commands that can be translated to something known by LyX (at least I am not aware of any missing one), and it is extensively tested. Of course if there will be more simple citation engines available in the future, it should be possible to handle them without hard coding. Georg
