I use a bib file from which I select the references for my document.
Since I use only parts of the references, I would like to get those

reference manager, I can (under tools) select a subfile based on this
aux file. Can I get the aux file somehow also without the latex
procedure from lyx?

If you View the document in LyX, the .aux file should be generated in
the LyX temporary directory. While the document is still open in LyX,
go to the temporary directory LyX is using and it should be there. On
Linux, the temporary directory is typically under /tmp, and in any
case "Tools > Preferences > Paths > Temporary directory" will get you
to the starting point. It's just a matter of drilling down a couple of
levels from there.
There is a program aux2bib that will take the aux file and produce a bib
file from it. Once you find the right temporary directory, you can run
aux2bib in that directory.
See https://ctan.org/pkg/bibtools.

Thats also good to know, its faster than using the Jabref method.
