It is possible, in two ways: 1. Using the external inset 2. \write18{wget -r <url>} in latex mode, and changing the latex->dvi converter to be "latex -shell-escape $$i". However, the latter is a security risk, and both methods will make updating the DVI very slow. The preferred option is probably to write a script that updates the necessary files (the script can gather the URLs from the .lyx file).
