Thanks, but I don't think that's the isuue here: when I use newpax using 
techworks to compile everything, all my links in the pdfs work. When I try to 
do this via Lyx, just some of them do work.

See texdoc newpax for why this isn't technically possible for many
links.

Also see the pdfpages manual which makes clear that:

"Links and other interactive features of PDF documents When including
pages of a PDF only the so called content stream of these pages is
copied but no links. Up to now there are no TeX-engines (pdfTeX, XeTeX,
...) available that can copy links or other interactive features of a
PDF document, too.
Thus, all kinds of links1 will get lost during inclusion. (Using
\includepdf, \includegraphics, or other low-level commands.)
However, there’s a glimmer of hope. Some links may be extracted and
later reinserted by a package called pax which can be downloaded from
CTAN [3]. Have a look at it!"

pdfpages is the package that is employed by Insert > File > External
Material.
