I'm not so sure about "easily".

AIR you have to add items manually from within openoffice. I for one 
have an existing clipart library of maybe 100 to 200 thousand images 
which I'd like to add in some form - but in the absence of automated 
tools, that's a non-starter.  I have to settle for my homebrew web-
based indexed system (actually works quite well), and paste image URLs 
copied from the web browser into the 'insert image from file' dialogue 
box.

I have reservations anyway about the OOo gallery for extensive clipart 
collections. It really doesn't appear to scale well, nor offer any form 
of indexing beyond a rather gross "theme" concept.
