No. Only the we on this list don't know of a way. Maybe the LaTeX experts at comp.text.tex have a solution. Günter

Gives much better flexibility and control when doing one version for print and one version for electronic. I always wondered what Branches were for. Drew

Perhaps you should take a look at the Branch feature: section 6.8 of
the User's Guide.

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. But it sounds like I'd need to
manually add the "if - else" code before every URL. If that's the case, I'm
more comfortable writing macros in vim, so I'll handle it in the lyx code
directly, not through the GUI. Thanks for the help.

The hyperlink dialog provides you to enter a special name for the URL. If
you leave it empty, the link is then also the name, see attached.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I *want* the
special name in the electronic version. Pseudocode example: "Please visit
[my blog|http://blogname.com] for more details." In the electronic versions,
I want the current behavior, where "my blog" is displayed, highlighted as a
link to "http://blogname.com";. But I'd like to be able to create a version
for print that would show the special name *and* the URL, since you
obviously can't click on a book.

If I get you right, you want two different outputs, number one for
printing with both title and URL and number two as electronic version
with just the clickable title and nothing more.
There is a workaround for that... It's not quite beautiful, but it works.
You have to make a distinction between your two cases "printed" and
"pdf". For that, you can define your own latex-command, say
\myprintversion, by \def\myprintversion{} in Latex-Code.
In front of every hyperlink, you can check whether \myprintversion is
defined or not and use that to decide what output to generate. To stick
with your example, you could write \ifdefined\myprintversion (in
Latex-Code), then add the hyperlink in the way you want it in the
printversion. After that in Latex-Code \else, then add the hyperlink in
the way you want it in the electronic version. To finalize the
if-clause, you need to add the statement \fi in Latex-Code.
Now all you have to do to switch between print-version and electronic
version is to keep the definition of \myprintversion or delete/comment it.
If you need an example-file, I'll send you one.

Want to show URLs in printed version
I've seen lots of questions about how to make clickable hyperlinks, but I'm trying to go the opposite direction. I'm using the Hyperlink inset in 1.6 and it is correctly creating the hyperlink in the PDF. But I need the option to output a PDF which has both the title text and the URL displayed so that it can be printed. I've solved this in the past by simply having the title as standard text, and using a URL inset next to it. This works fine for the printed version, but as a result also shows the URL text in the electronic version. Is it possible to add an option -- I'm guessing it would be a hyperref option -- that will cause the URL text to be displayed? Thanks in advance for any help. Drew
