Hello,

This functionality does not exist yet, but indeed it would be doable 
(either pasting, or transforming an expression in place).

There are no current plans for that, that I know of. Indeed, paying 
someone to do it may help to materialize it sooner. I suggest that you 
create a ticket on www.lyx.org/trac. I will forward it to the developers 
list to try to find someone willing to implement it.
