I'm inside an extension plugin. it is a new contentelement so the type is 
neither text/image nor plugin.
As I have it configured it enables the same fields as of type image.
So the TYPO3 rendering calls class.tx_myext_pi1.php and there I want to 
render the fields of the current tt_content record ($this->cObj->data) as 
if it is of type image. Before that I want to change some fields like 
caption, width, ...
If I would use $this->cObj->RECORDS(array('source.'=>array
('current'=>1))) it will end in a loop as this would call my plugin again 
with the original record from the database instead of a modified version 
in memory which I could provide.

I could build a fix TS-array, but I want my extension to use the std-
typoscript-configuration which can be differnt on every installation. 
(e.g. pmkslimbox modifies the rendering of images, or someone has defined 
a special frame for images on his website)
