why is it a \citet? what about the others?

it's a question of philosopy to say that the fileformat changes,
\citexx[options]{key}
is the format and I don't change it. The insets decide what
goes to latex, docbook, ascii,...

until there are no multiple options for insets, there is no
other way to handle natbibs "before" together with the "after"
and the label, than to use the option-field. The "before"
and "after" must be saved in the lyx file, with or without
natbib.
