HiddenSearch -> Paginator -> SearchLinkLister

I would like to speed up a dashbaord with big listings of sourcetypes by using one hidden search over the metadata. The sourcetypes should displayed sorted in different groups represented by several SearchLinkListers. Now i tried puttin everything together but it looks like the SearchLinkLister could not use the inital hiddensearch to do a post processing on it.
applyOuterIntentionsToInternalSearch and postprocess doesn't help out. At the moment i ended with the code above which produces a
SearchLister module SearchLinkLister_0_3_0 was not given a search or a saved search name to power itself and thus cannot render any data. error message.

Is there any way to use a HiddenSearch with a SearchLinkLister?

Yes, the way SearchLinkLister was designed, you must supply a search to populate it:

<module name="SearchLinkLister">
   <param name="settingToCreate">list1</param>
   <param name="search">| metadata type=sources</param>
   <param name="searchFieldsToDisplay">
     <list>
       <param name="label">source</param>
       <param name="value">source</param>
     </list>
     <list>
       <param name="label">totalCount</param>
       <param name="labelFormat">number</param>
     </list>
   </param>
