Not really. My proposal disallows external editing of embedded files.
So I embed my bibfile and now I can't edit it? If so, this is a very big
flaw.
I meant that you are discouraged from editing it directly, like unzip
a OOo document, edit and zip it back. You have to do it in lyx, by
whatever 'edit', 'update from external file', or 'un-embed' feature.
I think this is the best solution and it's also similar to how it works
in e.g. MS Word. Note that extracting files to the document directory
can cause problems with permissions. If a user only has the permissions
to edit a single file, there will be no problem when embedded files are
temporarily extracted to the temp directory. However, creating files and
new folders in the document directory will not be possible.
