You have to subscribe to the particular content type so it 
doesn't always work but it is totally doable.

You can play with it using simpledisplay.d's drag and drop 
support.

Web drag and drop actually dates back to IE 5. It has been 
cleaned up a little since then and now prefers mime types to the 
type enum it used to do (though both still tend to work) but it 
isn't actually all that different.

no not really.

you'd have to be really incompetent to do it this wrong.
