 Probably because there's no standard protocol to drag and drop anything=
=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B
but files between different applications= .
=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B
Maybe not for every window system but = on MacOS there is and many applications accept dragged text directly:
=
=E2= =80=8B=E2=80=8B
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/drag_and= _drop/making_a_view_into_a_drag_source
=E2=80=8B - source info=E2=80=8B

=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8Bhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/27420016/osx-drag-and-drop-text-not-= file-to-app-dock-icon=C2=A0
=E2=80=8B- destination info=E2=80= =8B

So this coul= d be an addition to the macOS-specific drag-n-drop support.
