Summary: Group Folder: Add New Value

Initial Comment:
I frequently am introducing new values to groups (like keywords and other metadata). Currently, there is no way to add a new value through dragging; you can add a group value (say, a keyword) to a publication by dragging it onto the appropriate group folder in the groups pane, but you can't introduce a new group value (like a new keyword). Dragging to an empty space currently creates a new static group.

It would be very useful to me (and perhaps others) to have a folder just under the Empty <group name> folder labeled "Add new value to <group name>"; when the publications were dragged onto that folder, a dialog box or sheet would pop up/pull down where a new value could be added. (Whether this auto-completes with existing values would be debatable).

Other alternatives: A menu item (Publications->Add to Current Group Field with drop-down autocomplete, but allowing for new values), an AppleScript value that contains the current group field.
