Just as an idea:

How would it be if we could edit these "extra fields" that you want to
store in the MM-relation directly in the
browse_links.php wizard? Currently there I can just select the desired
records ("Select Record"). But if instructed by TCA we could have other
fields (integer, strings, etc) there that are attached together with the
chosen record and which get added to the select field and later stored
in the MM-table together with the IDs.

I've done such a thing on a non-TYPO3-project where I had the exact same
problem.
