Hi Bart,

I had to do it through Typoscript instead of coding it directly in my 
plugin.

The plugin has a list and single view mode on different pages - and on 
the single view page I added this to Typoscript setup:

page.meta.description.cObject = RECORDS
page.meta.description.cObject {
   source = {GPvar:tx_blnews_pi1|n}
   source.insertData = 1
   tables = tx_blnews_items
   conf.tx_blnews_items >
   conf.tx_blnews_items = TEXT
   conf.tx_blnews_items {
     field = teaser
   }
}
​
Where tx_blnews_pi1|n is the identifier variable from the plugin.
It is a bit annoying that I have to do more than one database lookup, 
but it's working at least :)
