Definitively! I had just a quick look in the source code. Maybe we could
simplify the "browse_links" additions so instead of having "tabs" we
could use the "Pages" tab and simply list records from other tables
instead of just tt_content in the already present "list view". So if
tt_news records are "linkeable", simply show them in the list view
together with the tt_content elements which already do something
different (adds an anchor to the target URL).

The tab name could then be renamed to "Pages / Records".

What do you think?
