I thought a little about it the last two days... 
I don't think you can do this without additional functionality in the page 
module. First of all we would need Drag'n'Drop there, otherwise any solution 
will result in click, click, click parties.
Then we would need a completely new functionality of some kind of "content 
collector" inside columns. This will clutter the page module :| (Think about 
a more complex grid view and then multiple collectors for each column. The 
normal editor will get lost.)
I don't think this should be done with a special content element and IRRE, 
because this feels somehow "hacky".
Then the whole construct would need a representation in the list module (or 
not? - it does not support columns either).

Best regards
