I would like to be able to right click on a citation and be able to
click on "open pdf". The filenames of the papers I cite are all stored
with the author field of the BibTeX (followed by the extension
".pdf"). Thus, I would just need to input the folder location into a
LyX document setting, and the feature would work.

Interesting idea - and useful. But I would see it as a two step process:

1) right click - see bibtex entry
2) click on "file" field in the bibtex entry to see the pdf. In the same
way, on could open URL to see the paper online.

This seems more complicated for no real reason. You basically have the information when hovering. However, having a new menu entry "see document" when there is a "pdf" or "postscript" or "url" entry (and the ps or pdf file actually exists) would be neat.

When trying this out, I have a weird situation. I include a Bibtex inset, pick bilbiography style "plain"; when I insert a Cite inset, the only form that I can pick is one that shows the whole citation like "Smith & Wesson (2002) In the Head: How to Get it Right Every time, Springer"

How come I cannot have a plain [1]?
