you could use user forms (s. page 98 in TYPO3 Core APIs).

['columns'][fieldname]['config'] / TYPE: "user"
"type" => "user",
"userFunc" => "user_func->func"


Just a thought of a workaround:

In your userFunc you can check for the post-var of your "2nd type-field"
and modify/show your userform-item(s) the way you like...

A little drawback: you'll have to save the form first to get the right 
post-var. Maybe a little JavaScript-Magic could help here to make it 
really interactive.

Hope that helps!
