It should be. Inside the <dtml-with "createInObjectManager"> part of the
constructor, you can probably do (untested):

<dtml-with "manage_addProduct['ZCatalog']">
 <dtml-call "manage_addZCatalog('id', 'title')">
</dtml-with>

I haven't used this syntax for a python Product before, so I'm not sure if
this will work as is. It should be a step in the right direction though.
(You can tell by looking at the source for the Add list within the
management screen.)
