I'd find that a pest. I often drag given 'types' of files to different
things for various purposes. Don't want the defined run/load action to
change according to what I last did some while ago.

To avoid problems you'd need some for of modified dnd - e.g. like holding
down a particular key when dropping.

Even so, I can't personally see this as being difficult using the current
system. So wouldn't really want a change.

Slainte,
