Probably not... :-)

Ok, I might as well tell what my idea was then.

If front-end users should have the posibilty to add a record of some kind
why not make it possible for users to make a BE login with a special
account for this purpose.
There might be some security issues that I don't know of? But my thought
was that if the BE was secure, there wouldn't be any problems as long
as the account for this was set up correctly.

Another thought, - is it in any way possible to use the BE record editing
functions in the FE?
In my opinion there is no reason to reinvent the wheel.
Fx. in the discussion of FE news submitting on typo3.org, I think it would
be cool to have a add news panel like in the BE.
There might security issues here too that I don't know of?
