why doesn't lyx recognize "projects" (sets of files)?

[Piantadosi, Steven]

I have been using lyx for about 3 years. Currently I am producing a large book with 25 chapters along with various smaller projects. The biggest problem I encounter is that the user interface does not seem to allow separation of workflow into "projects" or groups of files. It would be nice if when lyx opened it loaded only the set of files from a specified project. Otherwise the choice seems to be either mixing a large number of open files or re-opening files individually after working on a single file. Is there a simple way to get lyx to restrict its opening of files based on a directory or other logical arrangement of files?
