Draggable with Multiple Sortables

Draggable with Multiple Sortables

Using jquery-ui 1.8 and having some difficulty with a particular ui design.  Basically, I'm trying to set up a draggable element to connect to multiple sortables.  I have many sortable lists on a page and I need to be able to drag and drop a stand alone element into any of those lists.

I can use the connectToSortable option on the Draggable but only to connect it to a single list.  It appears on older versions of jquery-ui one could pass in a list of selectors to that option for the behavior I'm trying to get.  Is there another way I can pull that off in 1.8?  I'm a bit stuck on this one.
