I think that is one of our oldest enhancement requests.

It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to do. Just adapt the math macro 
framework. But I have never understood the math macro framework. Another 
option might be just to create a new type of math inset, alongside 
inline, display, etc---text type---that didn't output $...$.

In cases where I've really wanted to use macros in the text, I load the 
attached module. All it does is prevent LyX from escaping the backslash, 
so you don't have to put things in ERT. Of course, you don't get the 
nice display then. But one could use the preview inset for that.
