Can't you just alias the command as above, so that when you execute
'lynx' it launches 'xterm -e lynx'?

Do you have more than one terminal app installed?  How would it know
which terminal you want to use for any particular command?  Or which
profile you want to use, if you have more than one?  Some things I like
to run in a borderless, (pseudo-)transparent gnome-termimal; some things
in an xterm; some things in a regular gnome-terminal (default profile;
i.e., what starts when I just click on the terminal icon on my panel or
select "Terminal" from the Gnome Applications menu).  You have to set up
your preferences.
