Needed why? In LyX, the " character should be suitable for both. (See User's Guide 3.7.2.2 on setting quote-character options.)

Here is an example taken from an explanation of how to write correct
syntax when using regular expressions.

Not a compelling example, I'm afraid, unless I'm missing something.  The
example you provided isn't a LyX file, and its use of the "backquote"
and "single quote" characters to resemble double-quote characters is
hardly necessary.  Regular double-quote characters would have served
just as well.

More importantly, your example doesn't touch on Geoffrey's claim that
"two open single quotes are needed [but the double quote character] is
valid for closing quotes".
