you cannot do for all available modules as you can with tmfp06d:
from ase.data.tmfp06d import data as tmfp06d
from ase.structure import molecule
molecule('ScH', data=tmfp06d)

You need to look into the python files under ase/data, read the code 
what they do,
if they contain interesting molecules, and how the structures of 
molecules can be accessed.

Best regards,

Marcin
