I solved the color part by lyx, ie
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{color}
\textcolor{red}{My Colored Text}}
but the clickable text problem is still there and sometimes such a
link is in the heading like inside a section title.

A simple LaTeX example would be:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[colorlinks,% Make things colourfull
linkcolor=red,% Internal links are red (which is the default anyway)
urlcolor=black]% URLs are black
{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\section{One\label{one}}
Some text \ref{two}
\pagebreak
\section{Two\label{two}}
Some text \ref{one}
\end{document}
Not a LyX user, so I'm not sure how to proceed there, sorry.

Thanks. this was very helpful. I saw it just as I got the clue and was
experimenting with hyperref and found the documentation at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/doc/manual.html
I see that \hyperref[tag]{sometext} is not really needed unless your
text is different than the tag. Otherwise, \ref{tag} can do the job.
HOPE SOMEONE EXPLAINS THIS USING LYX
