There is no such thing atm. Your best bet is to either use something 
like CONTENT to fetch the entries or create a specialized plugin 
(controller+action) to output the raw string with the needed data. But 
if the other extension is yours too, why don't you get yourself the 
repository from the first extension injected and go from there instead 
of doing it in Typoscript?
