Hi,

just an update. I played a bit around with the hooked element browser 
but now I found out that it is not a good way of doing it. I still want 
just to add a new tab in the eb and don't want to recode everything. The 
hook works for this so far, as I can add a new mode to the eb. But I am 
not able to use this new mode, because there is no link to it. This is 
where the tabs should be extended.

I don't want to XCLASS the eb, because this will definitely break with 
other extension like the dam.

Please could you give me a hint?

Thank you very much

Andreas
