Just curious: Under what sort of scenario would this be useful? I'm asking because LyX allows you to cite individual references by date only. Hence, you can write "Knuth's" by hand and add the bib reference without the author name so that only "(1984)" prints. If that's all you're after, it seems to deliver what you want without requiring you to mess with layouts or use ERT.

The web page below shows how to modify standard BibLaTeX
to allow possessive author names in citations (use all three lines in the URL) :

https://tex.stackexchange.com/
questions/22273/
author-name-of-textcite-as-possessive

For example, suppose a bib file has the following entry:

@book{knuth,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {The {{\TeX}book}},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
date = {1984}
}

Ordinary usage might include \textcite{knuth}.

The line above would look like:

Ordinary usage might include Knuth (1984).


But with the code shown on the web page, the following would hold.

Modified usage might include \posscite{knuth}.

This would appear as:

Ordinary usage might include Knuth's (1984).

OK. I can get this to work in plain LaTeX and perhaps in LyX by using ERT.
But how can I add the possessive style as a Citation style in
LyX's Citation dialog window for citations so that all citations
can be done though the same interface and without ERT?
