Very nice!
I was able to enable this with the following command:

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il ,lyx

(what an ugly command line... Even the weird "," isn't redundant...
Users of KDE or GNOME probably have a more graphical way of enabling these
options).

For me (with the above command), the niqqud is actually chosen with the shift
(either left or right, it doesn't matter), NOT with the right ALT key.
But it is indeed working well.
