Install the Writer-to-Latex module/package or whatever it is called.
That exports the whole file to LaTeX keeping more than just Italic.
Then you tex2lyx it and copy/paste from the document resulting.
When exporting switch to "Ultra Clean" and experiment with the other
option.

Hello,
is there a way to paste text (from a source such as LibreOffice)
into LyX and keeping the words in italics emphasized? If not, could
such an option be implemented?
As Scott pointed out, right now it's not possible on a direct way,
but you can use LibreOffice's own tools to "tag" text in italic and
then use the "paste as LaTeX" option on LyX. It goes like this:
- On Writer, make a copy of the document (don't work on the original!)
- Open the search and replace tool (Ctrl-H)
- On the Search box, write the following, complete with parenthesis:
(.*)
- With the cursor still on the search box, enable "Regular
Expressions" and, under Format, select Italics (you'll see the word
Italic bellow the search box)
- On the Replace box, write \emph{$1}
- Replace
You'll see that all the italic text will be surrounded with the
\emph{·} tag. Now, you can copy the text to the clipboard and go to
LyX → Edit → Paste Special → Paste as LaTeX.
Of course, for short texts it's not worth doing all that, but for longer
texts, it works pretty well.
Cool idea, Ricardo! This way is better than exporting/importing HTML
in the sense that you will only get the \emph part formatted.
Exporting and importing the HTML might give a bunch of different
formatting that is not desired.
