If I understand you right, what you want to do is to cache different
views of the plugin, that is based on more options than id and type,
as TYPO3 usually does.

The answer is called chash, and it is a parameter that is added to the
url made up by a hash of the other parameters.

I only looked briefly through the scripts, but it seems to me that all
that you have to do is set the cache-parameter of the link-functions
in pibase, and make sure your plugin is not USER_INT.

Sorry if this was not what you we're asking.
