are you sure?
isn't it a question of rendering definition?
you easily can define something to render all records of table xy on a 
page (so you have no positioning in different columns and also no 
preview in page-view)

it is not the usual way, but TYPO3 can do more ;)

other more usual ways:
have a plugin in each page (either per CE in tt_content) or per TS which 
renders all records of table XY on that page.

or have a CE "insert records" where records from table XY are allowed 
(and rendering must be configured)
