You should probably read (or revisit) the FTB tutorial. This stuff is
all covered there. You want to use the "Typoscript Object Path" field
to point to a typoscript object defined elsewhere such as
'lib.foo.bar'

I suspect the (reasonable) thinking behind this is that after the
initial development stage, the DS rarely changes but TS often does...
