Hi,

You could potentially do this by iterating over all the contacts and sending
them an AIContentMessage. You can flag the content message as neither
tracking content nor being displayed. You'd have to more than likely create
a window to send the message, as well as a location to drag/drop contacts or
groups to determine whom to send to.

It's technically possible, just not implemented in Adium.
