yeah this definitely helped a lot...

it all works pretty nice now :)

But I got a few more questions... :p
As my Demand Object also uses own model classes (e.g. @var 
Tx_CdgLabors_Domain_Model_Labor) I now seem to manually initialize them...
$demandOverwrite = $this->initDemandOverwrite($demandOverwrite);

I just go through the array and replace all object uids with the object
$demandOverwrite['labor'] = 
$this->laborRepository->findByUid($demandOverwrite['labor']);

it's pretty simple but I'm not sure if this is the best solution 
available... e.g. for the demand object I didn't need to to that, yeah I 
know extbase can't know this stuff for an array, but maybe some sort of 
auto population could be done with a configuration? I'm just curious... :)

it works pretty nice and I can pass it on easily with
<f:link.action action="list" format="table" 
arguments="{demand.overrideArray}">Tabellendarstellung</f:link.action>

for reference here is all the corresponding code

maybe you can take a look and tell me if you have an suggestions for 
improvement... :)

cheers
