Are you sure you want this behaviour? I'd just keep the list complete and not "move 
around" notes, but "pass references" to notes and just create additional views. (I 
also don't like kmail's behaviour which removes emails from the listview that you 
open, makes it really hard to find something when you have 10 email windows open).

You can do that using the item, no?

Yes, just implement the dropevent.
