To answer my own question this is possible if you create a custom module 
to generate the data you want to show in the Related List area.

To use this you must declare a new View class in your custom module 
called "In$parentModuleRelation.php". In my case $parentModule = 'Accounts'.

Take a look at the function showRelatedList() in 
modules/Vtiger/views/Detail.php

This means you do not need to create a getRelatedStuff() function at all 
in the parent class. So in my example I have an entry in 
vtiger_relatedlists with no data in the "name" column. All the initial 
processing of the data is carried out in my View class [the data itself 
is being generated in a Model class].

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers
