Hi there,
I don't think there's currently a way to achieve this, but might be a
very powerful feature:
Let's say I want to define an inset that needs input from a LyX
dialog. It could be a new citation inset that'll be used with
biblatex, and the LyX dialog in question would be the Insert>Citation
one.
In general, one would want such insets that use some of LyX's
infrastructure - be it citation, cross reference, language selection...
I think flex insets have much more to offer and was wondering if there
were any thoughts of expanding their use throughout LyX. Not all
things (like the forementioned bib(la)tex citations) have to be
hard-coded, much could be accomplished with user defined insets and
modules... if only support for the use of LyX's infrastructure was there.
I've thought about this from time to time and may even have filed a bug
about it. The idea would be to have "command" insets, like citation,
whose fields can be determined dynamically through the layout machinery.
I'm sure this is possible, but I'm also sure it would need someone who
knew a lot more about Qt than I presently do.
