I have been testing the new CCK for Drupal 6, and it would be a usability win if one could go directly from the content types table (admin/content/types) to the manage fields page. Currently, there is no way to alter the table generated by the node_overview_types function. This patch adds a hook_node_type_operations, so that a module like CCK could add more columns under the operations header in the content types table.

would be nice, but the right way to do this is to have all tables go through drupal_render and let them alterable via drupal_alter(). see http://drupal.org/node/80855

And it's also true that not having a link to the 'manage fields' page in the content types overview is a serious usability pain. That's not HEAD / D6 specific, it's also the case in HEAD.
Adding anything to D6 core would not be reasonable. Not sure what we can do in between (short of overriding the whole page :-( )
