Hello,1. I am using LyX with Nicola Talbot's LaTeX package glossaries. Therefore I need to maintain several tex-files with databases for the data in each glossary. I asked Nicola Talbot for a best practice to do so. As explained in the forwarded discussion I am hoping for a database application that is comparable to JabRef. I am wondering if anybody would like to put an extension for LyX on a TODO list which would allow for many LyX features like the math editor to be used when maintaining glossaries' database files.
I've never used this package and know nothing about it. But if these are just TeX files, then it might well be possible to design a LyX layout to allow you to create and maintain them in LyX itself.
Beyond that, there's no such thing as a LyX "extension". People do occasionally inquire about re-using the math code in other apps, but LyX isn't really modular enough to allow that.
