    How can I
    get the lock modifier key to work with }, { and | as it works with
    a..z?

I assume you really mean, how can you get the lock modifier to work with
"a with diaeresis" and a few other Latin 1 characters.  XLookupString
should work fine for this.  All you need do is place the proper keysyms
(e.g. "adiaeresis") on the keys using xmodmap.

    I think that this is the right place for some hacking, or is it??

No hacking should be required.
