Honestly, Walder, I don't understand you.

Pages are database records - they can't be browsed with File Manager.
File Manager can't browse database records.

Why not have tool to browse files - if you don't need it,
don't use it and disable from normal users, if you regard that
they don't need Fime Manager.

File Manager is *not* a different concept, because *it is not a concept 
at all*. It just a tool.
Tools are useful. Typo3 has integrated PhpMyAdmin - tool also.
That too could be a stand-alone - but is is much nicer if you
have integrated tools.
