I would also advice you to take a look into this documentation as well:

Thank you for the link, this helped me out with another problem I had in
an extension reading the media field of a page.
But I could not find any information about my problem. I make an 1:1
copy of tt_content type 'textpic' but the images path is not resolved
like it is in 'textpic'.
