This way, you can convert an equation to the source text (which might be desirable for copying as well). The other way round is already implemented: Mark a valid math expression (like \sin(x)) and press Ctrl-M. If you select the math contents and paste it in text, you'll see the LaTeX code. I

The difference w.r.t. an ERT block is that you can see the formatted result on the screen (but editing through an external editor is not as comfortable as a collapsable inset). Remember I have the InsetPreview in my back pocket :) I didn't follow the thread further, so I don't know what
