The original lyx code:
See
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[my_link]{http://www.lyx.org}

THe latex code produced by exporting to latex:
See my_link \url{http://www.lyx.org}

So anyway the « Name » field in the url LyX inset will not be the anchor

ERT is needed to produce the good l2h result:
\begin_inset ERT
status Open

\layout Standard

\backslash 
htmladdnormallink{my_link}{http://www.lyx.org}
\end_inset 

Works fine.

Liable to prefiltering in a wrapper script calling l2h if you want to avoid ERT.
As the latex file does not feeds back the anme field, I don't see another way.

This had been discussed long ago in the lyx list, I guess the developers
would not produce latex code specific to a particular html translator.
