[TYPO3-dev] Feature request: - secondary options palettes loaded with ajax (I know I'm late)

I thought it might only be one small JS function with three parameters 
(name of the db-table, id of the palette to load, session ID for 
authentication and fetching BE-user rights), but I have no experience 
with coding ajax, so I trust your estimation.

yes, cool from a technical fact, but not so cool having a look at the 
costs and the coupled distortion of competition (de: 
Wettbewerbsverzerrung). But still cheaper then renting a bureau.
