Well - nice patch since it will be working in other places as well, but "no
way" is not true.
You can of course use optionSplit outside of menus just by using
stdWrap.split.

So you can do something like this:

tt_content.stdWrap.outerWrap = |###SPLITTER###

temp.mySplittedContent = COA
temp.mySplittedContent {
    10 < styles.content.get
    stdWrap.split {
        token = ###SPLITTER###
        cObjNum = 1 || 2 || 3
        1.current = 1
        1.wrap = <div class="mycontent1">|</div>
        2.current = 1
        2.wrap = <div class="mycontent2">|</div>
        3.current = 1
        }
    }
}

The rest will be done with appropriate CSS and without any patch.
Just one example how to use it. You can imagine there are much more
possibilities of using the same concept in other places as well.
