How about something that is more simple, yet could give similar functionality. I've never used spring loaded folders on the mac, but I've heard about them, and loved the idea. If you're not familiar with the term, basically it means that you can select files and drag them over a folder. After x seconds, the folder will open up in the current window, and you can then move to another folder, hold it over, etc. This allows you to, with a single window, and with only mouse control, move files to just about anywhere. That is something that would be simple to the user (though probably not the coding) to enhance usability in a similar manner to what you are describing.
