Typo3 TCA Select field should fill value instead of id

I am developing an extension in Typo3 v6. In the backend I want to show a selectfield taking the values from another table but filling the value (text) into the table instead of the ID. Here is my code (catlabel should be filled into the advert-table):

    'categoryname' => array(
        'exclude' => 0,
        'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myextension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_myextension_domain_model_advert.categoryname',
        'config' => array(
            'type' => 'select',
            'allowNonIdValue' => true,
            'size' => 1,
            'foreign_table' => 'tx_myextension_domain_model_categoryoption',
            'foreign_field' => 'catlabel'
        ),

The itemsProcFunc won't work in my case. It stored the id in the database every time.

The hooks wont work.

I use the type 'user' and build everything by myself. https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Reference/Columns/User/Index.html It's a little bit more complicated. But if you inject the needed repository in your classs and define all needed parameter in the tca, it build in acceptable time.

This is not possible with the stock functionality. You need to provide a itemsProcFunc that provides the keys and values for the select field. See the docs for more info.
