Can I use something similar to Rails' 'has_many :through'?

Question

I'm trying to recreate a has_many :through relationship inside my extension. Is there something similar that I can use in TCA?

Here is a link to the Rails docs for clarification.

Answer 1

TYPO3 has MM-relations with full handling, but what you want looks like qualified MM-relations.
This has not been implemented yet in TYPO3.

So you need to realize it by your own: have three models where one model has n:1 relations to the other two. All handling, like selections, needs to be done in your code.
