Q:

TYPO3: list without pid restraint / recursive single table view?

I have a TYPO3 extension with records that are distributed all over the page tree.
Do I really have to make a custom BE module to list and edit all those records? Or are there other possibilities to list them without the pid restraint from the pagetree?
I thought about search, which works on the content:

So I could include a keyword to search by for that record type. I saw there's mod.web_list.searchLevels to extend the search further down.
Maybe it's possible to bookmark searches?
EDIT: cool, I can bookmark searches!
Even more convenient would be if the Single Table View could be tweaked somehow to work recursively, e.g. 4 pagetree levels down – is that possible?

A:

Here's my own answer already:
just make a bookmark of your search by clicking the "Star" button after having made that search.

When calling the page from the favourite menu, the search results will be displayed - awesome! 
Not tested in real life yet, and maybe there are better solutions though?
