It is not done today but it shouldn't be too hard to do. Please take a
look at the dev guide:
  http://elyxer.nongnu.org/devguide.html
as to how to hack on eLyXer. The relevant file would be
src/elyxer/ref/partkey.py, and the function is getfilename() in
LayoutPartKey. The title can be read using readtitle().

Let me know if you need help on that. I am thinking that it might be a
good addition to eLyXer, perhaps as an option.

Alex.
