If I understand you right, you want to use author-year style. If so, natbib is 
the best choice. LyX 1.2.0 will support this directly via Document -> Extras 
-> Use Natbib and the Citation dialog.
Natbib also lets you define a citation alias (e.g. if you want to use a custom 
label like "Paper 1"). However, this is only possible via ERT by now. Have a 
look at the natbib docs.
