i think no point in making them extenders if they are going to be full applets 
once detached.

best idea is probably the one rfom sebas, making the notes applet there is now 
to manage akonadi urls drop, so in that case would be connected to akonadi and 
save there
there would be another applet that would show a simple list view  of the notes 
text where is possible to drag notes out (same thing should be possible also 
from kjots to look really killer)
not even sure if the listview applet should permit editing at all.

another idea would be an applet that looks like the notes (perhapps that looks 
like a stack, another modality for the list view one?) one but has next/prev 
buttons and is possible to switch between them
