Yes, I want user interaction inside the jobs to make them as easy to use as
possible. Settings up a collection selection dialog is a boring work that could
be encapsulated by the job.

But that would imply that inside the slot the user has to do the conversion
of the results (item -> addressee object) manually again. That's what I want to
avoid.
