i would suggest that you drop the <foreign_table> and <foreign_table_where>
statements and use instead :

<type>group</type>
<internal_type>db</internal_type>
<allowed>tt_news_cat</allowed>

This will give you an element selector with which you can choose elements from
every page ... if you have just one table in the <allowed> tag just the uid's
of the records will be stored, if you have more than one table in the allowed
tag (separated by ",") then you will have TABLE_UID values in the field which
stores the relation ...
