Yes, but you have to use the Cygwin version of LyX.

You have to change the LaTeX->DVI converter in Tools->Preferences->Converters
to "latex -src-specials $$i". As an alternative to redefining the converter,
you can put "\usepackage[active]{srcltx}" in the preamble of the LyX file.
Now, in the View->Options menu in yap, under the "Inverse DVI Search" tab,
set the path to the batch file lyxeditor.bat below. Enter something like
"C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\lyxeditor.bat %f %l"
This 2-line batch file is a wrapper for the lyxeditor.sh bash script which
does the real work and that you also find pasted below (put both files in
/usr/local/bin and make sure that they are executable).

# Pass filename and line number of a latex file to the lyxpipe of a running

# This script is directly invoked by the dvi viewer when initiating a
# reverse dvi search (yap uses double click, xdvi ctrl-click).
# When using yap, this script should be called through a wrapper batch file.
