This works a little different. EXT:solrnntp is a scheduler task that 
fetches newsgroup articles directly from the list server, converts them 
to Solr documents and sends them to the Solr server on its own.

Just check the indexer class in EXT:solr/classes. There's a method 
indexPage() with two hooks at its end. These should help you to index 
other records than just pages.

yes, the indexing queue will (hopefully) allow you to index arbitrary 
types of record just by configuration. Though it's not finished yet.
