(Get the code!)
Well spotted, Thibaut! I watched that part of the video yesterday but didn't notice that drag.
I can think of two issues to clarify before adding this feature.
1. What happens if the item isn't already installed? We could just install it. But if it's a commercial item, there would be a series of interactive steps before it starts installing. What, if anything, would we show at the drop target in the meantime?
2. What happens if it isn't an application? For example, a system library. We could make those undraggable. But if we did, how would we visually distinguish items that are draggable from items that are not?
