I think this is also an amazing idea. Also now I can see that there are several ways of solving this problem. But we may need to agree with one solution which would be easier to implement, that is without harming the current code as much as possible. > As a further note, often it happens that one adds some picture built with who knows what editor, and it shows > up as amazingly/surprisingly huge within LyX, perhaps for some DPI settings or I don't know why.

As you suggested, this solution would be mostly goes with image insets and I feel like your idea is appropriate for that as I have also encounted the problem that you have mentioned. I hope that someone else who is having much knowledge can talk about the possibility of implementing this. Thank you Hashini
