That's about the closest you can get to a parallel to this case, but it's still pretty far off. The reason that we don't consider TftT a valid source is that they're little more than Stan Lee comics reprinted with a single panel of the Fourth Doctor introducing them.

The reason that's different from TIDH is that no one is going to make the argument that a single panel of the Fourth Doctor saying "Hey, check this out" is a story. No one would ever suggest that we cover only the panels of the Doctor introducing the story and nothing else. Given that the linking storyline of this anthology is instead a fully-fledged narrative on its own, it's a totally different situation. If we were somehow forced to cover the initial panel of the Fourth Doctor introducing Tales from the TARDIS, then we would also have to cover all of the stories inside as well.

There's a big difference between a non-DWU reprint that plasters the Fourth Doctor over the front page and an anthology that shows a series of stories as preserved on a DWU-planet by a DWU-villain, who is defeated due to a plan created by the Seventh Doctor.
