Your first step will be to have your Folder-like object inherit from
ObjectManager.

from OFS.ObjectManager import ObjectManager
class FolderLike(ObjectManager, Implicit, Item):
      manage_options = (
         ObjectManager.manage_options +
         Item.manage_options
     )

That should get you started.  For more questions like this, I would
post to plain ol' zope list (zope at zope.org).

I lurk that list and have written plenty of Folder-like products,
and I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
