It's a great solution, and simple to implement.

Either GNU Emacs or XEmacs with the bibTeX mode are the best tool I've
ever used for that.  There are also some GUI tools, but since I'm an
XEmacs user, I've never taken a liking to them.  YMMV.

IIRC, there is one that uses the Gnome GTK+ GUI that can talk to LyX
over a pipe in some way.  I think you end up with something like
bibtex-mode + reftex-mode in XEmacs, but for LyX.  Perhaps something
like that could be done in TeXmacs?

Q: Could TeXmacs be programmed, via Guile Scheme, to implement a
bibtex-mode + reftex-mode like that?  I wonder how hard it would be to
do that?
