I do not completly get what you acutally want to achieve but I had to do 
a rootline latly that added the product name of a tt_products element. I 
  did it with RECORDS because a simple TMENU cannot give something from 
a different table. The second

rootline = COA
#main config


#special if on a tt_products page
[globalVar = GP:tx_ttproducts_pi1|product > 0]
rootline.10.1.NO.linkWrap = |&raquo
rootline.10.special.range = 0|-2
rootline.20 = RECORDS
rootline.20 {
         dontCheckPid = 1
         tables = tt_products
         source.data = GPvar:tx_ttproducts_pi1|product
         conf.tt_products = COA
         conf.tt_products = TEXT
         conf.tt_products.field = title
         conf.tt_products.crop = 60 | ...
         conf.tt_products.wrap = &nbsp;<strong>|</strong>
}
[global]

Hope that helps
