Just a suggestion -- if the admin site does the sort of thing you want, then
taking a look at the admin code would probably be helpful in figuring out
how to do it. Sorry I don't know offhand without doing more digging than I
have time for what it does, exactly, but if it is showing a working example
of the kind of thing you want then, since the source is all available, the
answer is there somewhere.
