this is very shell specific; so it doesn't belong in libplasma. which means it 
would end up in individual containments at worst, and a containment action 
plugin at best. (the latter is most likely, i think.) it would require the 
same amount of code of the other solution and would turn it into a 2-step 
process where the solution i suggested is a one step solution.

i mentioned on irc earlier today that this same approach could be used to ship 
"pre-configured widget sets" that could be used to add complex arrangements of 
widgets. but that's also a different topic, sort of :)
