[Typo3] Plugin Content Element

[Søren Schaffstein]

Hi list

I'm trying to write a new plugin for Typo3 and whish to create a new content Element Type called "secured download".
What I want to do is: Put a new  type of content element on any page in the pagetree (like the type "Text" or "Image"). If someone selects the new type "secure download" I want only the fields "Header" and "File" (for upload) to be visible.
Is this possible? And if yes how? This seems a complicated/impossible task since many plugins like "address" etc. need to create their records using the "create new record" option.

On the website itself I want to show a downloadlink to the file. After clicking the link the user must enter a downloadcode to verify that he is authorized for the download
