[TYPO3-mvc] Run ControllerAction inside a Hook with 4.5

well, you could fake a _GET var, but that's not that nice though.
You could also outsource the email logic to a mailService and do the 
following:

$pluginConfiguration = array(
   'extensionName' => 'Foo',
   'pluginName' => 'Bar'
);
$bootstrap = t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_Core_Bootstrap');
$bootstrap->initialize($pluginConfiguration);
# now you have a Extbase environment available
   // first grab the already preconfigured objectManager
$objectManager = t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_Object_ObjectManager');
   // then grab the comment object from the repo
$repository = 
$objectManager->get('Tx_Foo_Domain_Repository_CommentRepository');
$comment = $repository->findByUid($row['uid']);
   // now trigger the notification service
$mailService = $objectManager->get('Tx_Foo_Domain_Service_MailService');
$mailService->notifyAuthorOnApproval($commment);

I fear not, unless you temporarily change the TYPO3_MODE to 'FE'.
