Customize "Personalize Page" possible?

Question

Hi all,
I have a tricky requirement.
Is it possible to alter the end-user's Personalize Page window to have it appear and function more user-friendly and more user-intuitive?
Right now the page is just an excerpt from the Content Administrator's admin screen, which works if you're an administrator used to the portal, but for end users the page might look a bit overwhelming.
Therefore I would like to have it appear more or less like Google IG, Microsoft Live, or Microsoft Web Parts.
So users just can select multiple iViews at once, or simply drag-drop iViews to the right-pane without the need for the <i>rightclick -> select 'Add iView to Page'</i> sequence.
Basically it's not the right pane I want to change, but have the left pane Content Browser changed by something more intuitive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Robin van het Hof

Hi,
NOTE: The following is not a public API.
To add an iView to a page, the content catalog throws the following event:
EPCM.raiseEvent( "urn:com.sapportals.appdesigner:tab1", "addToPage", “/pcd/iViews/myIview" );
Note, that generally, the page editor sends EPCM events to the content catalog to tell it what right-click menus to display. It sends out events like this:
EPCM.raiseEvent( "urn:com.sapportals.appdesigner:contentCatalog", "addContentCatalogEvent", “tab1;Assign to page;addToPage;iVu" );
The parameter has 4 components:
String to be attached to urn:com.sapportals.appdesigner: to create a unique namespace
String to display to user
Event name, to through back to the page editor
Type of objects on which to display this right-click menu (I dont know what the valid values are)
Remember, these are not public events, just a description of what the appdesigner does.
Hope this helps.
