Not if you are trying to take the lime zest out of something that it is already physically mixed in with. If you haven't physically added the lime zest, you could, though the recipe probably would have to be called something different, as the taste has been changed.

Depending on what your making, yes. Since Oranges and lemons are both citrus fruit they can be swapped aroung to change up tastes in food. But it still depends on whats being cooked because if you are making orange flavored ice cream the swapping with lemon might not be the best choice.

Lime and lemon are two different flavors. It depends on if you are looking for a citrus flavor or a specific lemon flavor. In most cases, you will not be able to substitute.

Orange zest refers to the grated peel of an orange, whereas the juice of the orange is taken from the liquid in the orange's inner flesh.

Yes, the lemon zest (the yellow part of the peel, not the white pith that is bitter) is the most flavorful part of the lemon. The zest contains the essential oils of the lemon, which represents concentrated citrusy flavor. In fresh or even dried form, lemon zest can bring brightness to any dish. The same characteristics apply to the zests of orange, lime, and grapefruit, but lemon zest is the most widely used.
