This would be the best solution, as it would include all the flexibility
for the user to choose the editor of preference, and be usable fo all

I would say second best, as it would only represent a subset of the
functionality of an external editor like for example emacs+ESS for R.

In general, I think the addition of an external editor feature for ert
boxes, would open many doors for LyX.
