Yes, but that is not usable for DAM.

TYPO3 mm tables use tablenames to store the table name the relation is for, 
but not the field of the table. This is no problem as long as you use the mm 
relation from that field - like it is now in TYPO3. But with bidi-mm you 
might need to know which field in the other table is meant in the relation, 
because there can be more than just one field using the mm table. You suggest 
to use extra mm tables for each field, that works, but is not always what you 
want. For the DAM this is not working.

Anyway, if 'userProcessClass' (see below) will be implemented I don't need 
enhanced mm tables in the core, because I can use my own implementation in a 
clean way.

Yes

The old code is included as option but not used by default. Just ignore the 
folder ux_tce/

Search for 'userProcessClass'.

You can have a look in the manuals section 'Developers section" too.
