Thanks for your reaction, I solved it without changing the TCA. It is in 
fact easy, but not I could not find any examples, so it took me some time :

In the model Comment.php I added :

     /**
      * Media
      *
      * @var \JaccovanderPost\Xxx\Domain\Model\Media
      */
     protected $media = NULL;


     /**
      * Returns the media
      *
      * @return \JaccovanderPost\Xxx\Domain\Model\Media $media
      */
     public function getMedia() {
         return $this->media;
     }

Now in the Comment controller I have access to the parent object (after 
inserting the media repository) :

$mediaItem = $comment->getMedia();

And stuff like this

$mediaItem->getUID();
$mediaItem->getTitle();

Etc.


Would be nice if in the extension builder a getter and setter for access 
to a parent object would be automatically created for n:1 relations.
