I just figured out this (again) by reading: 
http://forge.typo3.org/issues/show/369

No, unfortunately, I cannot set this statically in TS. Here is my use case:

I have companies that are stored in a sysfolder, along with users that 
are related to the company and many other information. As the number of 
companies is around 100-150 and they are many associated object, I 
decided to create a sub-sysfolder by company :

root
  `-- companies (SF)
      |-- company 1 (SF)
      |   `-- company record and associated objects
      |-- company 2 (SF)
      |   `-- company record and associated objects
      `-- company 3 (SF)

Now, I have a plugin on some page to show all companies. I set the 
storage folder being "companies" sysfolder and recursive to get all 
company records.

Now, when I navigate, I may create additional associated object from the 
SINGLE view of a company. Problem is that new objects are put inside 
"companies" instead of the sysfolder of their corresponding aggregate 
root, the company record.

Having a "pid" field in my domain model is perhaps not "DDD"-wise but I 
now have to make this work. Problem is that it seems pid cannot be 
mapped as any other field. In all cases, according to aforementioned 
bugtracker, and quoting Sebastian:

3) The PID of INSERTED objects is determined by a TypoScript setting:
- [extensionConfiguration].classes.MODEL_CLASSNAME.newRecordStoragePid
- If this setting is empty, the first entry of the PID list used for 
fetching objects is used.

Any idea?
