You can try the psfrag package, it should come with your latex
distribution. With it you can put normal text in the figs and then define
arbitrary latex constructs to replace it, e.g. "fx" -> $f(x)$ or "intfx"
-> $\int f(x)\,dx$ or whatever.

You have to explicitely insert \citet{} or \citep{} commands marked as red
text, the LyX builtin cite cooresponds only to plain \cite{}.
