If I'm understanding you, yes, it should be possible with NewsPublisher.

There is a way to have multiple "Edit" buttons on a page, and each one could point to any page. You might need a custom snippet to generate the list of projects and edit buttons, but it might be possible with getResources or pdoResources and a creative TPL (maybe with a TV specifiying the ID of the resource to edit).

It works when I open a new page for it, not what I want but acceptable for the moment.
Two issues however:
1) When I reload that page I get a blank newspublisher, when I then fill it in a new page is created. I want to avoid this. How? I only want Newspublisher to be used to edit pages, not to create.
2) This one is worse: I can't get the filemanager work. I have &initfilebrowser on and all my permissions are OK (save doc & save). I get the popup but with the message 'to many redirects'. Did I forgot something?

Have you tried TinyMagicPublisher?
The snippet appends and enforces an edit=true, create=true parameter to your resources url and thus ensures that all your present problems do not occur.
When you list all the pages that your user has created and can edit, simply add the edit param:
<b>Please click to edit</b>
<a href="article1.html?edit=true">Article One of 100</a>
<a href="article2.html?edit=true">Article Two of 100</a>
<a href="article3.html?edit=true">Article Three of 100</a>
Note: the pages without the edit param will still have a nice edit button on the article itself
<a href="article4.html">Article Four of 100</a>
I might make this snippet into a standalone Extra in a few days

Sorry, I just remembered that the NpEditThisButton now sets a $_SESSION variable to cure a security vulnerability, which means that having multiple edit buttons on a single page probably won't work, unless each one is part of a form, and you create a custom form-processing snippet that sets the $_SESSION variable.
I think you might be better off with donshakespeare's solution.
When you reload the NP page after reaching it from an edit button, it should just reload the information for that page and let you edit it again.

Yes, since the whole thing is unfortunately suited up at the moment, once you install TinymceWrapper, immediately deactivate the TinymceWrapper Plugin.

YES! I did it, everything is working fine! I didn't use TinymceWrapper, only Newspublisher.
Short briefing:
from within a client-zone on the frond-end, the client can now:
- get a list of all his projects (every project is a resource located somewhere else in the context-tree)
- update every project from within the client-zone (I don't go to the resource itself, but load it into a new dynamic page)
- put extra resources (updates) on the project-page (= create children on the project)
- delete and update the extra resources
- I use 4 different Newspublisher snippets to get other output
- updated the look of the forms and the buttons (most throught the tpls, some throught jquery like the "edit"-button.
- everything secured
Happy about this. On some points Newspublisher could use some improvement, like setting the parentid to a dynamic post-field (I had to use a "get" to make it work) and documentation. But overal a good addon.
