I've made it ;) (with some little tweaks to get around some traps in
CatalogAwareness.py).

My basic dtml-code to copy one object to another Folder:

<dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('ids')">
   <dtml-let data="manage_cutObjects(REQUEST['ids'])">
      <dtml-call "Review.manage_pasteObjects(data,REQUEST)">
   </dtml-let>
</dtml-if>

If you use this code you will fall over some things in
CatalogAwareness.py (methode url(), lines 159-162) which require a
valid REQUEST object. 

I added an 
if hasattr(self, 'REQUEST'): (patch include as attachment)
on top of these lines and added a method DestinationURL() to my
class which simply returns the previously saved output from
absolute_url().

What should I say, it works good enough for my application and I
noticed no drawbacks (yet!).
