If you don't want to leave the overview you can just drag each app you
want to launch.
It hardly takes longer than clicking, I can probably launch 4 apps in
my dash in about 3 seconds
- hit windows key
- drag icon 1
- drag icon 2
- drag icon 3
- click icon 4

If I'm really organized it will take slightly longer because I'll drag
them to some combination of workspaces, but not longer than workspace
management upon launching would have taken in a standard gnome 2.
