now i digged in the code, and i tried this in function 
renderPossibleRecordsSelector

if ($selConfig['type'] == 'select') {
   $item = $this->renderPossibleRecordsSelectorTypeSelect($selItems, $conf, 
$selConfig['PA'], $uniqueIds);
  } elseif ($selConfig['type'] == 'groupdb') {
   $item = $this->renderPossibleRecordsSelectorTypeGroupDB($conf, 
$selConfig['PA']);
  } else {
            $item = $this->renderPossibleRecordsSelectorTypeGroupDB($conf, 
$selConfig['PA']);
}

and i get a elementbrowser with all my needs.

I know this is quick and dirty, but only by looking to this code i saw that 
normally i only get a record selector, if the foreign_selector has type 
select or dbgroup, but i have other types.

So maybe this helps to enable element browser for normal types.
