I'd like to be able to edit these things through the main LyX interface,
rather than through the preamble window, so I was wondering if there's a
way to define a new paragraph style that would put the contents in the
preamble, rather than after it.
A Style that writes into the preamble is impossible.
But there is a workaround: A separate document with just the Preamble
Styles that is exported to TeX and included from the main document preamble
with \input{thepreamble.tex}.
You could also file an enhancement request to bugzilla asking for a
InPreamble keyword (similar to InTitle).

But there is a workaround: A separate document with just the "Preamble
Styles" that is exported to TeX and included from the main document preamble
with \input{thepreamble.tex}.

Custom Paragraph Styles -- Can I add things to the preamble?
I'm trying to put together a LyX layout for JHEP3.cls. This is fairly
widely used in physics, and produces a nice titlepage and toc. It has
the peculiarity that all of the titlepage type material (title, authors,
abstract, etc.) has to appear /before/ the \begin{document} command.

rather than through the preamble window, so I was wondering if there's a
way to define a new paragraph style that would put the contents in the
preamble, rather than after it.
I've read through section 5.3 of the Cusotmization file, looked at a
few of the standard layout files, and looked through the forums a bit,
but haven't found a way to make this happen. I noticed the Preamble
command, but it sounds like that only put some fixed text into the
preamble, whereas I want to be able to type something e.g. the JHEP
Abstract environment in LyX and have it appear in \abstract{...}
/before/ the \begin{document} command.
Is there any way to make this happen?

Within a week or two I'll be posting a web page discussing how to make it
