Thanks for your feedback.  Do you think asking during the time of drop
would be a viable option too?  I'm thinking of adding the defcustom
org-dnd-default-method with options such as

    . attach -- as implemented here
    . open -- open file
    . file-link -- insert file links
    . ask -- ask what to do after drop

I think the `ask' option would be nice to have too.  Perhaps, even as
the default?

Thanks, I will go back to using rmc then.  It shows a nice dialog box
when you use the mouse.
