It would be the best to implement a "horizontal spaces" dialog, where you can
select the above and \hspace{<some length>} as well as the already defined
spaces in insetspace.
The vspace dialog might serve as a prototype.

switch (osf). That one should be part of the font settings (document dialog).
But I think you aim at a way of inserting oldstyle nums only at individual
places?
