Thanks Paul, that works indeed.
However I'm still facing a minor problem I can't seem to solve.

In my error message (the return value) I'd like to give a link to the user.
However the Html object (required to build an url) is not available
from the model.

Hardcoding the URL in the return value also doesn't work because the
error message gets sanitized (probably htmlspecialchars() )

Is there a way to ouput html in an error/validation message?
