AFIK, it's not avaiable, but something similar is in bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502
The entry is mainly about floats, but this request pops up now and then
for footnotes and other insets too.
The problem mainly seems to lie with the UI:
- John didn't like adding menu alternatives for this because it would
clutter the menus. (i.e. one alternative for "Open all floats", one for
"Close all floats")
- JMarc suggested a toggle-function for "insets similar to this point"
(this sounds pretty good to me actually)
