I can add necessary features to tm_contentaccees

hooks are needed to - see my other post concerning this topic.
I found also that db_layout.php needs hook for handling possible 
function menu.

function renderListContent() {
...

	// Traverse the list of table names which has records on this page 
(that array is populated by the $dblist object during the function 
getTableMenu()):
		reset($dblist->activeTables);
		while(list($table)=each($dblist->activeTables))	{

...
// Creating special conditions for each table:
				switch($table)	{

...

				// hook for defining func menu, if needed
			elseif (is_array 
($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['cms']['externalTables'][$hookName])) 
{				
					$hookObj= 
&t3lib_div::getUserObj($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['cms']['externalTables'][$hookName]);
					if (method_exists($hookObj, $hookName))
						// put into hook just call of t3lib_BEfunc::getFuncMenu if that is 
needed
						 $h_func = 
$hookObj->$hookName($this->id,'SET['.$table.']',$this->MOD_SETTINGS[$table],$this->MOD_MENU[$table],'db_layout.php','');
				$hookObj=NULL;
				}
			else
				$h_func = '';

It would be nice to have hook handling CType also

// Make content:
		$infoArr=Array();
		switch($row['CType'])	{
...

			default:
				$hookName='previewCType_'.$row['CType'];
				if (is_array 
($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['cms']['CType'][$hookName])) {				
					$hookObj= 
&t3lib_div::getUserObj($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['cms']['externalTables'][$hookName]);
					if (method_exists($hookObj, $hookName))
						// put into hook just call of t3lib_BEfunc::getFuncMenu if that is 
needed
						 $out .= $hookObj->$hookName($this);
					$hookObj=NULL;
					}
				elseif ($row['bodytext']) {
