not sure... just putting in some unorganized braindump...

we have a content-element tt_content.text

why not add something like tt_content.wiki_text and make it some 
TS,objTS or USER Object(you have the chioce).

then you already have an "onChange" event that will reload the for 
whenever a user decides to change a content element form text to 
wiki_text or something else.
During this reload there is a chance to grasp a hook in tcemain/tsdb 
whatsoever an get the stuff converted in the db as necessary.

to me it seems that the standard content-elements tt_content.text 
tt_content.textpic et al are already kind of overloaded with Typoscript 
so I would rather see an extra content-element and not another option 
that needs to be applied to tt_content.text.

That would be the imho easiest and most clean approach.

Have fun,
Peter
