This is exactly what SyncEvolution does. Here's an outline how it works,
for details see the SyncEvolution source code:
* in the plugin's Module_Capabilities, set CA_ItemAsKey to
":yes" (SynthesisDBPlugin.cpp)
* instead of the normal Item() callbacks implement the ItemAsKey()
variants (SynthesisDBPlugin.cpp)
* in the <initscript> of the data store, create a variable
("itemdata" in SyncSource.cpp) and map it so that it can be
accessed from the AsKey() code ("<map name='data'
references='itemdata' type='string'/>")
* in the <before/afterwritescript>, call the
MAKE/PARSETEXTWITHPROFILE() macros to convert to/from the field
list (SyncSource.cpp)
* in your AsKey() implementations, read/write the "data" field
(SyncSourceSerialize::readItemAsKey,
SyncSourceSerialize::insertItemAsKey)
