What I personally miss is the possibility to add a citation in a specific (e.g. natbib) style, maybe even with pre and post field. I find myself often inserting a citation via an external manager and then have to use LyX's dialog anyway to set the style and add the page numbers. The citation-insert function would need to be enhanced to provide this. And maybe we would need a similar function as yours that passes the current style choices to the manager. Jürgen > Benjamin
