Question about CommandSequences: box-insert Frameless

[martin]

Hi all users and devs,

Been using the application for a while and love it. 

Was reading
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/CommandSequences
and 
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/FiguresSideBySide

Want to produce a command sequence for figures side by side.

So far 

float-insert figure
box-insert Frameless

But I want frameless box of width 45% \textwidth

Here are some references
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg61706.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg62044.html

From msg 62044 it seems 
box-insert frameless calls LFUN_INSERT_BOX which calls 

case LFUN_INSERT_BOX:

+   {
+   string arg = cmd.getArg(0);
+   if (arg.empty())
+   arg = Box;
+   return new InsetBox(params, arg);
+   }

So the question is, how to do something like

box-insert Frameless width 40% linetext

Thanks in advance

Martin

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply.

I probably wasn't clear in the problem I described. LyX makes it very easy
to setup hyperref support so references actually links in the resulting pdf
document (you can just select in Document-Settings).

However, the hyperref package provides the \hyperref[labelname]{link text}
command (it's a command with the same name as the package). This command is
somewhat like the href command LyX support but instead of pointing at a URL
it points to a label in the current document. This is the command I'm
looking for an interface for.

Thanks,

Have a look at BibDesk,

takes 1% of the time you took to re-invent the wheel.
