The most plausible way to do this would be to use an external inset. 
That's the way that Lilypond files (music) are included, for example. 
Such insets are user definable. Basically, you tell LyX how to convert 
the file to something LaTeX can process. This is discussed in section 
7.1 of the Embedded Objects manual. You can use the existing xtemplate 
files as a starting point, too.
