Yes, but you need to use the sidecap package. To integrate it on LyX you
can use a "Local format" (Document → Settings → Local format), something
like this (I'm using 2.3 here, for 2.2 use "Format 60" instead)
Format 66
AddToPreamble
\usepackage{sidecap} % added by sidecap.module
\let\SCfigurename\figurename
EndPreamble
Float
Type SCfigure
GuiName "Figure (side caption)"
Placement tbp
Extension loscf
NumberWithin none
Style plain
ListCommand empty
ListName "List of Figures (side caption): does nothing, use List of Figures
instead"
RefPrefix fig
IsPredefined 1
UsesFloatPkg 0
End
Float
Type SCtable
GuiName "Table (side caption)"
Placement tbp
Extension losct
NumberWithin none
Style plain
ListCommand empty
ListName "List of Tables (side caption): does nothing, use List of Tables
instead"
RefPrefix tab
IsPredefined 1
UsesFloatPkg 0
End
Now, under Insert → Float you'll have "Figure (side caption)" and "Table
(side caption)". The side-captioned figures will integrate with the normal
ones, so just use the normal index of figures to list them (and all the
others).

You can delete the caption box inside the float without problems, resulting
on a floating figure without caption. To insert several figures inside a
float you can just do that, or even insert another float inside the float
to get several "sub-figures", LyX will recognize the situation
automatically.
