[TYPO3] Looking for Typoscript guru trick

[Martin Bless]

This is what I would like to have:

10 = HMENU
10 {
	special = list
	special.value = DB:tt_content:17:pages
	...
}

Unfortunately there is only a plain
	$value = $this->conf['special.']['value'];
in class.tslib_menu.php.

Q:
Any TS guru trick possible?

Have a nice day,

Martin
