I actually wanted it the other way round ... make sure that \starttest[test][title={...}] gets added to the list. Looking at the comments of the annotation module, I get the impression that this should work. 

I could do it manually by adding \writetolist as part of the renderingsetup, but there are already multiple \writetolist in the annotation module, so I think that I am missing a configuration option.

That will be nice. There is some overlap with strc-con, but that does not have any of the goodies which the annotation module provides.
