Not sure if this belongs here or in the Kobo Utilities plugin, but I'd like to request a feature.

I am a heavy Overdrive user with my kobo. When I sync my kobo to Calibre, occasionally there is a book I got from Overdrive for which I didn't precreate a placeholder entry in my calibre library.

In this case, I'd like to create a placeholder entry and populate it with the metadata from the book.
When I use smart eject, it shows the book on the device but not in the library; If I then try to import the book, calibre tells me it can't import a virtual book.

However, I can save the book to disk, and then rename it to epub and add it to my library, which picks up the metadata, and then I can delete the encrypted epub from calibre.

Would it be possible to change this plugin to save me some steps and just directly create the placeholder book in the library when I ask to import it? (Or add an entry "add empty book for this virtual book", similar to what is already under Add book...)
