[TYPO3-mvc] Is some sort of single table inheritance or a similar solution available?

Of course it is not intended to have a repository for all sub-classes. 
And my example is indeed a bit misleading. There is something called 
content repository in FLOW3. But in the example extension "Voila" 
introduced above I have to instanciate a content repository with

$blogRepository = 
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Voila_Domain_Repository_ContentRepository')

But this Repository is only responsible for one class. In this case for 
objects of class Tx_Voila_Domain_Model_Content. Thus it doesn't find any 
objects of class Tx_Voila_Domain_Model_Content_Text.

Storing the type in a property doesn't solve the problem, because we 
have to use a explicit class for type hinting.
