A mechanism is disclosed for selectively allowing certain components in a group of components to be associated with a target component. With this mechanism, it is possible for a user to select a group of candidate components, and to drop that group of candidate components into a target component. Thereafter, the mechanism iterates through the group of candidate components, and for each candidate component that is compatible with the target component, that candidate component is allowed to be associated with the target component. For each candidate component that is not compatible with the target component, that candidate component is disallowed from being associated with the target component. Some of the candidate components may be associated with the target component while others are not. This mechanism allows a user to associate a group of candidate components with a target component without knowing which candidate components are compatible with the target component.
