One thing that'd be nice would be to be able to display records with
titles from another table. For example, if you've created records in a
table other than fe_users that belong to particular users, it'd be
cool to be able to display those records with the name of the user
they belong to.

(On the other hand, knowing Typo3, this is probably something I can
set up via the extension in the first place but just don't know about
yet...)

In any case, I know that I could build this in by writing a BE module
for the extension anyway ;-)
