[Typo3-dev] Labelfield from database relation

Hi,

I´m not sure if this is needed, but I build a small solution for having 
a field from a related table as a label field.

example: Having a table with countries and a table with country details
such as capital, population and other information.

When I list in on a page, I would like to see, for which country these 
details are, so I need the name as label field.

In the moment, you just see the ID when you chose it.

Unfortunaly changes in 

class.db_list_extra.inc and

class.db_list.inc

are necessary.

And since I added ext_tables.php fields the extension Kickstarter should be 
changed too.

That`s why I´m interessting if such a solution would be interesting for 
other people, and maybe it could be added in the core.

What are you thinking?

And don`t want to spent to much time for it, if I´m the online one who need 
it, cause the actual solution is enough for me, but not very nice :-)

Greetings
Volker
