[TYPO3-commerce] HOWTO create a 'read more' link at the end of the teaser text

Hi Michiel,

>>     typolink.parameter = {register:commerce_linkToProduct}
>>     typolink.parameter.insertData = 1

well - I'm not sure if I'm a commerce guru - I only realized 1 project 
with it so far, had some looks in the source code for that and rewrote 
some buggy stuff.

When I noticed the above mentioned, I tried to modify the mentioned 
parts and provide a patch, but after I changed it, some other part's 
didn't work correct anymore - parts that where somehow nested and called 
from other places. I didn't have the time to investigate into that then 
and don't have it right now.
Maybe I find some time on my next commerce project to finish this. Same 
with the priceFromNet story I discovered and some other things. Overall 
I would change a lot of places in commerce to become really flexible - 
but that's nothing that can be done with patches as it might be a bit to 
big for that.
