Although introduced in the case of Poisson random measures, the lent particle method applies as well in other situations. We study here the case of marked point processes. In this case the Malliavin calculus (here in the sense of Dirichlet forms) operates on the marks and the point process doesn't need to be Poisson. The proof of the method is even much simpler than in the case of Poisson random measures. We give applications to isotropic processes and to processes whose jumps are modified by independent diffusions.
