Does anyone know if the plasterboard would be strong enough to hold
kitchen cabinets (directly) with hollow wall/plasterboard fittings?

Two answers:

1. probably
2. certainly not

1. I'd expect it to hold the weight of the cupboard and packets of weetabix

2. A wall cupboard should hold what might be put into it (eg stacks of
crockery) plus someone putting their hand and at least some of their weight on
it - probably at an angle other than directly vertically down.

I would *not* trust it.

If you cut a hole what's to stop you putting a batten under the plasterbaord
at the edge of the cut and fixing that to the wall?
