ofcourse you shoud do it that way! the hook code looks like this.

// class.tx_ttnews.php

> // Adds hook for processing of extra item markers

wich means that you can override the existing settings and that you have
aceess to the tsconfig and the whole record row in your hook method
that's more than enough. the advantage for you is that by providing a
hook you are creating an update proof solution.
