Okay, I was not aware of this issue... I have implemented this feature some 
time ago (KWebKitPart support in KGet). At least some time ago listing all 
links from a website and downloading them worked. No idea about the current 
state.

So yeah, we need to add support to all of these plugins ASAP.
