[TYPO3-jobs] request for a function: "record-picker" sponsoring possible

[Rolf Nakielski]

We need a functionality similar to linkhandler in the TYPO3 RTE. Our editors should be able to choose records from the database (like news or content elements or other records from our own extension). But not a link should be inserted in the "bodytext" but some special tag including the table and the uid. Today we use RTE user Elements for this to insert some special tag that is than evaluated by the parser. But this way the editor needs to know the uid of the record.

So the requirements (differences to linkhandler) are:

- do not offer to make links to pages, files, folders... - but only to specified database records (can be defined in TSConfig)
- do not insert a link in the "bodytext" like today <a href="record:tx_news:tx_news_domain_model_news:123">text</a> but somethig like:   <record-picker>tx_news_domain_model_news,123</record-picker> or anything else that can pe parsed to insert some content within the rte text in the frontend using the content of the specified database record (eg. a news teaser).
- some search possibility is needed (as linkhandler offers today)
- would be great if this can be restricted to rte-blocks

As we don't have to much experience in the TYPO3 RTE we would need quite some time to develop while others may be able to get some faster solutions. We are willing to sponsor this with money. It can than be published in github or TER if you like.
