Yes, you understand me :-) This is especially true, if you get back corrected and annotated proofs from someone else. Then the footnote numbering (which does normally not change a lot) provides a very good navigation aid. ATM all I would have to use latex directly with src-specials and jump back between dvi and source to make correcting the proofs simpler, but I would prefer doing this in lyx.
