For citations, I think there is a backref option to hyperref. Check the 
hyperref manual. But I don't think there is a general setting for other 
kinds of cross-references. It might be that some PDF readers would do 
the right thing on "Back", but that would be up to the program.

You should be able to click on the error message, and it will take you 
to the right place in the LyX file. But this is a bit tricky, and 
sometimes we're off by a few lines.
