I could imagine two ways:
a) if there is a big amount of text to be in 2 forms, put it in an extra
lyx-file and include (with input) this file at the relavant places.
b) for text snippets (this is the LaTeX standard method for often used
parts of text or symbols or the like):
Define a latex command, say
ERT: \newcommand{\livetext}{
Standard (or whatever Style): Live text to appear in both
plaintext and table
ERT: } % don't forget this
Now you can insert the new command (with ERT) any time you want and it
will be replaced by its content
