Pybliographer is the one I'm familiar with but there are others. There's also the LyXSocket stuff which is conceptually similar (uses sockets rather than FIFO pipes) and which can be used today, right now by xdvi, kdvi, emacs, gedit... There's lots that is a mess about the LFUN language (ad hoc, no formal grammar, etc) but it is powerful and will become more so if someone adds the ability to return queried-for information like these LyXView IDs that you mention.
