Did you look into the possibility of adding a new file format (say,
.xml2rfc) and a converter from .lyx to .xml2rfc and a 2nd one from
.xml2rfc to .lyx? I think current LyX infrastructure allows you to do
what you want.

I think Nico means to have a classic CTRL+C -> CTRL+V approach of typical
Office products. In this case it should be say that LyX is not implemented
to do this since the .lyx format is only plain text, so you have no way to
add an image, for instance, inside it. The way lyx works (which is correct)
is to have external images and then insert them in view by rendering. I also
think this is a feature that can be done by creating the image (this is the
classic metadata inset) in the .lyx file directory and then create the
reference to it. Of course there is the complication of what happens if you
want to delete it, this is a gray area.
I hope this clarifies the question
