What I do not like in this scheme is that the text you enter in popups
is plain ascii text and not real LyX text:
- no accents
- no transliteration of special characters like &~\%
- no math formulae, no references...
Therefore, I believe that textual arguments should be edited in LyX
itself. This is the case for:
- short titles/captions
- optional argument to \cite
- text in URL inset
In particular, I'd be interested to see ideas for the last 2 items.
