Sorry for being absent the last couple of days. We had to prepare our move to Amherst (Mass.).

FLOW3 has the concept of custom factories that fits your needs imo.

It would be nice to have this handy feature in Extbase 1.3.0. could you please open a feature request for this. ATM the place to implement this feature is the DataMapper::createEmptyObject() method.
