The key (list_type) is included in the $row information that is passed
along. I can imagine an extension that wants to replace "CODE:" by
something else in the complete TYPO3 setup with something more
meaningful (like extracting certain info from flexform, or just
displaying nothing, or displaying "configured by flexform" or whatever
makes sense).

But I agree that it should be possible to setup just handling your
specific list_type, which is what each extension will then be able to
do, as the extension knows best its own plugin setup.

So I propose v2 of the patch, which enables handling specific keys, but
also enables some extension to handle all keys that are not being
handled elsewhere (_DEFAULT).

Cheers,
Ernesto
