In regard to 2.) does it mean that plugins of type 1.), e.g. the already
existing search plugin, will not be accessible through menu ?
How then ?

I had an idea that plugin is the way-to-go(tm).

1. Leech files :
-----------
When the web page is displayed, and you somehow select "leech files" plugin, 
all links from that page are displayed as a list, and user can select something
to download.
This is what Go!zilla does, but it gets all links from the page and displays
them in a special window.
We might use a simple konqueror window, which would display a list the same way
as directory listing.

2. Caitoo plugin :
------------
For this I am not so sure, I just want to do something like we did in former
CORBA framework. Something like event filtering, which would catch a copy
events and pass them to Caitoo.
I don't know whether this would be possible now or I should wait for new KParts
to be finished.
