[Neos] Backend module with Datatables/jqGrid?

[Horn Gábor]

Hello,

i would like to ask if there is any "official" way or preferred method 
to create new backend "views" or components apart from the " node tree" 
and the "inspector".
I would like to try to make a plugin which handles tens of thousands of 
record (think of ecommerce products) of complex data, and the only 
resonable way for that is to use a filterable/sortable grid component 
with an ajax data source (like datatables or jqGrid) and then a multi 
tab interface for editing the records themselves.
Is there anything like that available or planned for neos? Or if i go 
with neos i should implement all of it as a frontend plugin?
I really like to concept of the Neos backend, but this is just 
unpractical for the above scenario, and implementing such administrative 
function as a fronend plugin seems counter intuitive.
Anybody has experience in that field or can point me to the right 
direction please?
I would imagine a view where i have the "node tree" on the left, with a 
node "Products" and when i click on it all the rest of the screen 
(middle, right) is occupied with a grid component, and when i choose a 
record to edit then it is replaced by a multitab form (just like egy the 
Typo3 tt_news plugin when i edit a news record).
