I don't have answer but a related question. Occasionally I want to include a citation in a document that doesn't warrant being added to my set of LaTeX .bib files. I can't figure out how I might to that in LyX (other than hard coding the TeX stuff by hand).
As to your specific question I agree with Manolo Martinez the overhead of including more than an *ad hoc* citation will result in your LyX file(s) becoming bloated. You will probably save effort by using a dedicated bilbiography management tool such as BibDesk or Jabref. Not least saving time and face by only having the need to update a single copy of your entrie rather than all of them in all LyX files.
