[TYPO3-english] vge_tagcloud with tt_news / result list

Actually it is documented ;-) Please refer to the chapter entitled 
"Linking to tt_news and TIMTAB" which gives an example TypoScript setup.

The pi2 plugin is really meant to display results related to pages. 
Since all your news are stored in the same page, the pi2 plugin is 
useless in this case. This plugin has always been meant to a quick and 
easy way to see results for pages, but it's quite obvious that it can't 
handle every situation, since the tag cloud can be based on any table 
the database.

With the above-mentioned example, you'll find out how you can link 
directly from a tag in the tag cloud to some specific page to which you 
can pass the appropriate parameters for that page to display the correct 
information. In the example, the page is expected to display the search 
view from tt_news.
