There are many, many ways to add a drawer to KDE panels and sidebars. In the 
absence of your distro vendor providing an easily identified option for this 
functionality under KDE, I'd say the quickest way to get what you want is to 
drag a dir of applinks to your desired panel and select the option to "add as 
quickbrowser". Then, customise to your personal coronary contentment.
