Strange.
Am I really the first needing this?

You mean as parameter?
Some functions are predefined events. That means I call them and they
call me back. I would like to avoid adding everywhere another parameter.

What about using a

?
TThread could set this in the constructor.

BTW, you can call Synchronize for another thread than the current.
Is that allowed?
