Accessing Android accounts via Dalvik

Is it possible to access the Android "accounts" functionality via Alien Dalvik? Is it even implemented and if so, is it somehow linked to the Google Play services?

The actual issue I faced is with the "Kolab Notes" app (available on FDroid). Apparently, the Kolab account (Kolab being a groupware service) can only be added via the Android OS-level accounts functionality, which either a) doesn't work on Alien Dalvik or b) cannot be directly accessed from within the app.

Reportedly, on a vanilla Android device, the account can be added via Android settings -> accounts -> add account -> Kolab notes or so

Possibly related: https://together.jolla.com/question/40308/how-to-add-google-account-for-android-apps/, but that seems to be about the Google account and the links are dead as well.

dalvik have no settings ui, so no accounts dialog also :(

OK, thanks. So is it "just" the UI/dialog that is missing or the whole functionality? If anyone has any workarounds, feel free to comment :)
