I think it is not a good idea at all to use the standard
creation way for your special objects.

I would prohibit object creation in these folders althogether
for non-priviledge users. I would provide actions
"add news", "add document", ... They call a specialized
factory (with the right proxie role) that knows where to place
the objects of various types.
