Yes, that is presently the only way to add PTK content objects.
Sometime before 04/21, the PTK will be fixed so that you can add and
manage these objects through the Zope Managerment Interface as well.

You have to make sure the folder you are attempting to add items to
is a 'PortalFolder', rather than a plain 'Folder'. This is not really
desirable, but I think I now know enough to eliminate the need for
using.

You can add, for example, a Document to a folder by adding
'/Wizards/Document' to the Document's URL. You can prompt the user
for the kind of object to add by appending simply '/Wizards' to the
folder's URL. So, if you have a folder at http://server/portal/folder,
http://server/portal/folder/Wizards/Document will present the Document
Wizard.

Hmm. Let me guess, if you try to delete an uncataloged object, it
complains, 'Cannot unindex object' or some such thing? Sounds like my
fault. Please create a Tracker issue.

There is a resolved Collector issue on the ZCatalog which might be the culprit:
