Hi Elad,
there is most probably no problem with the feature per se, but zero response
you received so far suggest that you either need to find someone to code
it or you need to start coding yourself :)
In any way you might want to file an enhancenment request in lyx bug tracker
so your proposal is stored in our database.
Cheers,
Pavel
