Currently it takes 8 clicks (at best) to import a Graph by URL into an existing dashboard:

click on Graphs tab
click Import Graphs button
click in field and paste URL
click Import from URL (or hit enter)
click Add to Dashboard
click select field
click selection
click Add to Selected Dashboard

It should take no more than 3 clicks:

click on Import Graph
click in field and paste URL
click Import from URL (or hit enter)

Now that I've time to think about this I think this would be a net bad idea. Inexperienced users might be apt to start adding graphs here, rather than checking the graphs palette to make sure the graph doesn't already exist, leading to lots of dupes.
