I wonder if what you're thinking of is similar to this multiedit
extension that was posted to the ckan-dev list recently?

Not yet, but we're intending to add this to the activity streams feature
that we released recently. See this blog post about thr activity streams
feature:

http://ckan.org/2012/03/05/activity-streams/

Here are all the currently open tickets relating to the activity streams
feature:

I think tickets #1634 and #1664 match what you're talking about.
