Yepp, we can use KMultipleDrag for this purpose.

IMHO it's not necessary. If you drag an addressee from the view and drop it
back on it, no new addressee is insert.

It shouldn't be a problem to implement it. Just add a new if() statement in
ViewManager::dropped() that tests for a new VCardDrag::canDecode() and
passes the drag content to KABC::VCardConverter.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow.
