Ok, read up a bit (TSref) on CONTENT and SELECT, and came up with this code:

temp.quickMenu-content = CONTENT
temp.quickMenu-content {
   table = pages
   select {
     selectFields = uid,title
     pidInList = 90,89,87
   }
   renderObj = COA
   renderObj {
     10 = TEXT
     10 {
       field = uid
       wrap = <option value="index.php?id=|">
     }
     20 = TEXT
     20 {
       field = title
       wrap = |</option>
     }
   }
}

No content created at all... :->

I can easily get the data when working directly with the database, so 
I'm betting on the select-part above being correct, but I could be wrong 
as my mind doesn't seem to work the same way as TypoScript does, at 
least not today. Any further hints? Should I use the field properties 
differently? What have I missed or misunderstood?

Side issue: what tool/method inside of typo3 could I use to check the 
results of a select like the one above? Right now I'm adding the content 
to a page, emptying the cache and checking the page for changes, and I'm 
guessing that there might be a better way - there usually is in Typo3, 
but it sure can be hard to find! :->
