There is a learning curve ;) The ftListData attribute has just the name of method. The formtool itself makes sure the right items are selected.
If you need more input into the list that gets returned (i.e. with arguments) you will probably need to use an array with the library functionality. I'm not really familiar with that myself so I'll have to ask around to get a bit more detail. The gist of it is that all the ftLibrary attributes (of the array formtool) allow you to have total control over the data that gets fed into the library window. If the custom table is a content type this will be significantly easier, even if it's 'invisible' and not editable via the webtop.
