Quickload is the right answer but users do seem to like having things show up in the Library list. NI has been steadfast at reserving that for products that pay license fees. I think the way this new Kontakt works will be just fine, it's just different.
The biggest problem with Quickload is it doesn't update if you move/change things. And Kontakt has no maintenance features. On Windows (not sure on Mac) it's just a bunch of directories with file links to the .nki/.nkm files stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Native Instruments\Kontakt 5\QuickLoad
I've often considered building some tools to manage the Quickload links, so you could have a list of directories that you wanted maintained in the Quickload and it would remove the existing dir and rebuild it fresh. Which I have to do now when I add things/move things. My Kontakt content is split up into directories by publisher/producer, then by Product. So I get a new (non-library) product, I add it to the Publisher's directory but then I have to manually update the Quickload for that publisher by deleting and re-adding their directory. Tools could be built to do that for me. As well as find (and remove) bad links/etc. But other side projects have been more interesting lately but it's on the list. I may get to it if NI doesn't do something themselves first.
