Well it is not much of a trick. Since I do not use the \ph field and
LexiquePro does allow it to be exported I just included my picture reference
in that field immediately prior to importing to LexiquePro. Then, when the
HTML document was created I edited it with regular expressions to change it
into an embedded image reference.
Similarly with the audio reference, I included the filename, start time and
end time of the audio segment in which the headword is read by a speaker of
the language in a field in my Toolbox database, then, before importing the
file into LexiquePro I appended this field to the headword field. After
export to HTML I again used regex to change this into the relevant coding
(this uses a streaming server our team has been working with, described
here: http://tinyurl.com/3y8oxv) and the audio samples are then called by a
hyperlink (the underscored headword).
