Good, otherwise I'd have said not to use LyX :).

The easiest would be to write a module of such a feature. This doesn't
need any adjustments to LyX and you can share it with others.

I just want to warn you that maybe not everything you want is easy to
accomplish. You can easily be frustrated by all LaTeX code that is
needed. Besides, there are infinite number of features to be added to
LyX, but there won't be support from developers for all. If you can
really indicate a few features that would be useful for a larger
community which do not deviate too much from "LyX's philosophy", we
might end up with a better LyX.
