Hello ehud,
I don't know if it can be done in lyx, but i can suggest a workaround for
that (of course it is only
valid if your command is long in the first place).
You can set your style to be of "Latex Type Environment" and create an
environment
that passes its body to \mycommand.
To do that, add to your style definition the following:
LatexName myenv
Preamble
\newcommand\mycommand[1]{<definition of your command>}
\usepackage{environ}
\NewEnviron{myenv}{\mycommand{\BODY}}
EndPreamble
Note that with some commands it wont work due expansion order of \BODY,
so you might need to write
LatexName myenv
Preamble
\newcommand\mycommand[1]{<definition of your command>}
\usepackage{environ}
\NewEnviron{myenv}{\expandafter\mycommand\expandafter{\BODY}}
EndPreamble
instead.
Hope it helps,
Udi
