custom 'state' column name in database, and states stored in a different table

[FXLaroche]

Hello all,
I want to use the package in an existing project, where the different states of an item is stored in a "statuses" table, and the current state of the item is given by the foreign key status_id in the items table. I do not want to change this structure because it would require an important rework of the project. It woudl require to link my state classes to a given status in my statuses table, and to let the package know that the field to change in my items table is called status_id, with an integer as a value.
Is it possible or is the package's architecture too rigid?

Thanks for the help :)
