why do you need such an effort? stdWrap is your friend! ;-)
try something like this (example is written for tt_news):

------------------
displayList {
   title_stdWrap {
     editIcons = tt_news : title, datetime, starttime, endtime, 
archivedate, category, author, author_email, keywords, short, bodytext, 
image, imagecaption, links, related, news_files
     editIcons {
       iconImg = <img src="/fileadmin/admin/edit_16.gif">
     }
     editPanel = 1
     editPanel {
       label = NEWS
       allow = move,new,edit,hide,delete
       line = 5
       edit.displayRecord = 1
       onlyCurrentPid = 0
       previewBorder = 4
     }
   }
}
------------------

(the "title_stdWrap.editIcons = ..." configuration needs to be on one 
line of course - linebreaks added by newsreader)
