AASTeX itself uses only the \citep and \citet commands. A LyX implementation of an extended citation popup should probably generally support the natbib package. My impression was that natbib was supposed to replace all sort of other citation hacks. Yes, this will mean a file format change, and is thus way beyond my coding abilities. (Now, if LyX were written in FORTH, it might be a different story :-) Thus, my serious consideration to be a mercenary and taint the pristine waters of Open Source code with filthy lucre ...
