your answer shows that it´s sometimes useful to ask twice.

well ... I guess if the docs are not explicit (enough), one has to

just for the record (if anyone else reads this and has the same
problem):
I registered _all_ models with my main admin site and changed the
links within the related lookups to /main_admin/app/model/ instead
of ../../../app/model.
changing templates is probably the right thing to do. but compared
with changing 50 (or more) templates, the above "solution" is less
work (and I don´t see any disadvantage).
anyway: malcolm, thanks for your answer. you definitely clarified
things.
thanks,
patrick
