LR3 "publish" service - any method besides "drag and drop"?

I use LR3.3 with Smugmug and have established a "publish" service successfully using the Smugmug plug in that came with the program.
I have used the service successfully but after creating a "collection" I would absolutely love to be able to "select all" and then "right click" or otherwise navigate to the correct Smugmug gallery (or create a new one) to publish to the web. The only way I can find to do this is to "drag and drop" multiple files onto a previously created Smugmug gallery.
Indeed Scott Kelby describes the feature using drag and drop terminology.

Someone please tell me that Adobe has provided a more direct and accurate method for uploading to Smugmug and similar services. While I understand why people like to use drag and drop, it shouldn't be the only method. My LR3 screen is already crowded with a tremendous amount of information, and dragging and dropping this many files, across many, many folders, collections, etc, is very clumsy.
Am I missing something ? Is there a more specific and direct was to navigate to the publish service upon selection of these files, rather than "dragging" them?
Thanks.

Seems silly to have two SmugMug plug ins, but as long as they don't interfere with each other, I'm ok with it.
Thanks.
And I use the Target Collection method detailed by Brian.
They both work a treat!
What options do you get when you right click your SM galleries in LR ?

I think the issue is that there are two plug ins for Smug Mug now. The original JF plug in which he still works on, and now one simply called SmugMug which comes with the LR3.3 out of the box so to speak. This is confusing since when you look at the plug in manager you see two distinctly different SmugMug plugins.
when you use the JF plugin, you get an integrated window that allows you to simultaneously create a Smugmug gallery and then upload to it. In the plug in that comes out of the box with LR3.3, you cannot do this from the plugin manager dialog screen in this manner, and have to drag and drop, OR transfer after 1)-creating the gallery in Smugmug 2)-creating a LR collection 3) setting such collection as a "target collection" and 4)then transferring
4 steps instead of essentially one or two. Keep up the great work JF!
