i-drop Enhancer Extension Developer

Hi
I'm trying to write a app that will enable our users to search our detail components and generate an i drop page that will enable them to drag and drop there detail components into Revit.
I'm really close, I know this can be done as there is an online application similar to what i'm trying to do in the autodesk labs web site http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/contentsearch2/
http://cs.labs.autodesk.com/

i'm obviously missing something, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony

Hi Anthony, i think the guys at BIMcache are working on something that might help you achieve what you're after - their product was demo'ed at the Revit Technology Conference in Sydney (June 2008)
